). Despite their similarity, there are some morphological, behavioral, and communicative differences between them. The Desert Gundi has more inflated auditory bullae and proportionally longer large intestine than the Common Gundi. Fecal pellets of the Desert Gundi are shorter than those of the Common Gundi. Calls of the Desert Gundi are of higher frequency than those of the Common Gundi.

Desert Gundis start breeding at 7-9 months old, and females have a vaginal closure membrane during periods of sexual inactivity. Unlike the Common Gundi, the Desert Gundiis sexually inactive most of the time, and its gestation is 60-65 days. Desert Gundis produce two litters each year under favorable conditions with up to three newborns in them (two on average), but they do not reproduce in extreme conditions and scarcity of food. Firstlitters are usually born in February-March and the second in April-May (these dates are delayed by c.2 months for individuals that live in high elevations). A prepartum estrus is suspected for the second copulation. Females are able to store spermatozoa in their genital tracts for at least two months and use them without further copulation to produce a replacement litter. Social behavior of the Desert Gundi greatly differs from that of the Common Gundi. A Desert Gundi lives alone most of the year. At the end of autumn, a female settles in a place, and several males try to join her. After a familiarization period, only one male is selected, and supernumerary males disappear. The male stays with the female during gestation, but he leaves before birth of the first litter. Neonates are precocial and born fully furred with their eyes and ears open and functional. Young remain close to their shelter, but sharing a night shelter between mother and youth is short-lived and stops well before weaning. The mother joins the young in the morning and may spend the rest of the afternoon with them. Young Desert Gundis from the first litter disperse before birth of the second litter in April-May. At the end ofJune, all individuals become erratic, and it is not until November after establishment of male-female relationships that these individuals become sedentary again.
