What kind of animals live in the Indian desert? The desert of northwest India is one of the most challenging environments on the planet, where only the best adapted wildlife survive. The indigenous people call it marusthali, meaning 'region of death.' Found in this harsh area of drought and heat is the endangered Asiatic lion, one of the world's rarest big cats and India's national emblem. The unforgiving desert is also home to one of the world's fastest terrestrial mammals, the blackbuck.
