The interior of the Arabian peninsula was, as it is today, hyperarid. Despite its aridity, the area supported a variety of scattered plant covers and grasses. Small lakes created by runoff from stabilized dunes provided regular sources of water for animals and humans. A great diversity of arid-adapted animal species was present, including oryx, gazelle,
