The
desert animals are the color of their environment
many are extremely dangerous because they must
attack fast while hunting to avoid being in open
unprotected areas for long periods of time.
Animals
are adapted to handle long, hot days and the lack
of available water.
Many
animals never drink water. They get it from the
food they eat.
Reptiles
and amphibians spend their days underground or in
the shade to remain cool.
Because
of the very hot weather, many animals are nocturnal
and only come out of their homes to hunt and eat.
