Editing Great Victoria Desert (section)

==Fauna==
The wildlife that adapted to these harsh conditions include a few large birds or mammals such as [[emu]]s and [[red kangaroo]]s. However, the desert does sustain many types of lizards, including the vulnerable [[great desert skink]] (''Egernia kintorei''), the [[Oxyuranus temporalis|Central Ranges taipan]] (discovered in 2007), and a number of small marsupials, including the endangered [[sandhill dunnart]] ''(Sminthopsis psammophila)'' and the [[crest-tailed mulgara]] ''(Dasycercus cristicauda)''. One way to survive here is to burrow into the sands, as a number of the desert's animals, including the [[southern marsupial mole]] ''(Notoryctes typhlops)'', and the [[Litoria platycephala|water-holding frog]] do. Birds include the [[chestnut-breasted whiteface]] (''Aphelocephala pectoralis'') found on the eastern edge of the desert and the [[malleefowl]] of Mamungari Conservation Park. Predators of the desert include the [[dingo]] (as the desert is north of the [[Dingo Fence]]) and two large monitor lizards, the [[perentie]] ''(Varanus giganteus)'' and the [[sand goanna]] ''(Varanus gouldii)''.
