Desierto del Tamaulipas

The Desierto del Tamaulipas is a vast, arid desert region located in northeastern Mexico, spanning parts of Tamaulipas and Nuevo León. It features a harsh climate with extreme heat and minimal rainfall, making it challenging for plants and animals to survive. The area is characterized by expansive sand dunes, sparse vegetation, and unique desert wildlife like lizards, snakes, and small mammals. Despite its tough conditions, it plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and serves as an important habitat for many species adapted to desert life.
