    An onager (Equus hemionus onager; surviving number estimated at fewer
    than 800) and her foal drink from a spring, revitalized from rains in the
    mountains bordering Iran's great salt desert, Dasht-e Kavir. During the
    scorching months of summer when fresh water becomes scarce, onagers
    drink salty water to survive. Onagers are found in the white areas below.
