The Gobi is a large desert and semi-desert area in Central Asia, covering parts of Northern China and Southern Mongolia. With an area of about 1,295,000 km2, it is the largest desert in Asia. It is overall a cold desert with frost, and snow occurring occasionally. Much of the desert is not sandy, but rocky. The Gobi is a great source of important fossil finds like the first dinosaur eggs. Despite the harsh climatic conditions, it sustains many animals like wild Bactrian camels, black-tailed gazelles, Mongolian wild ass, marbled polecats, etc. The desert is expanding at an alarming rate through desertification, mostly due to human activities.
