Question

    People may think the Taklimakan Desert is an area with no bird in the sky and no beast on the land, no water to be found and of course no fish. However, 24 rivers actually feed into the desert area and there is under-ground water. On the outer reaches of the Taklimakan, water can be found just 3 to 5 meters under the sands. The moisture not only supports more than 80 kinds of plant life, but also different kinds of fish on the edges of the desert.

    The large-head is one of them. When spring floods come to the desert, most fish go with the current (水流), but the female large-head swims upstream followed by males of her kind. When she finds a place with plants, she stays and lays eggs. Only the male immediately behind her is allowed in, but as soon as he enters, the female leaves. The father is left alone to raise the family. Later the father will lead the new-born downstream. This rare Xinjiang fish is just one of 38 kinds of in the Taklimakan Desert. Hard to believe but true!
