In the Astrakhan steppes, there are large areas of sand, dunes. A semi-desert zone with its characteristic flora and fauna already begins here.
   Russia, Astrakhan region.
Young yellow gopher (lat. Spermophilus fulvus).
Tarantula (lat. Lycosa praegrandis).
Moving along the dune, the sandy boa (lat. Eryx miliaris) leaves a beautiful, symmetrical trail on top of no less interesting “sand waves” created by the wind.
This lizard (lat. Phrynocephalus mystaceus) lives in areas with dune sands. In case of danger, he runs away and buries himself in the sand or takes a frightening pose and opens the "hood".
