What? First time ever? Endangered species?

I saw those little creatures many times when we used to go for trips in the desert, they are far from rare (unless they had some plague I didn’t know about). They are really fast, really really fast. They zoom around quickly and turn steep angles in a fraction of a fraction of a second.

PS: I have to say it again, those guys are FAST.

Ooops… seems like they are talking about a Mongolian subspecies.

Ignore the message above.
