The Gobi Desert is a huge desert in Asia. It stretches across parts of northern China and southern Mongolia. Unlike most deserts, the Gobi is not full of sand. Most of it is covered in bare rock and hard, dry ground. It is the fifth-largest desert in the world.
Today, Bactrian camels with two humps, snow leopards, and jerboa mice still live in the Gobi. The ancient Silk Road trade route once passed right through it. Even though the desert looks empty, many animals have found ways to survive in this tough place.
