Takla Makan Food Web
The Takla Makan desert is the largest shifting sand desert. The desert is the point furtherest from any ocean. When the sand shifts there is virtually no vegetation but when the sand dunes settle they may be colonised by plant species such as Alhagi Sparsifolia, Scorzonera Divaricata and Karelina Caspica.
These plants are eaten by a few animals such as wild bactrian camels and also Asian wild asses. Than the bactrian camels and Asian wild asses get eaten by the gray wolf.
