Adaption of desert animals
1. Xerocoles, adept desert dwellers, exhibit adaptations for water conservation and heat tolerance, often obtaining moisture from succulent plants without frequent water intake.
2. Examples like Gazella and Oryx showcase low basal metabolic rates, relying on specialized mechanisms for survival, such as concentrated urine and dry dung production.
3. Numerous hot desert animals, like camels, demonstrate nocturnal behavior, finding shade during the day or taking refuge in underground burrows to cope with the harsh desert conditions.
