DESERT

There is very little water available in the desert It is very hot in the day time and very cold at night Organisms: camel, rat , snakeDESERT

A camel can survive without water for several days

How???

They excrete small amount of urine, their dung is dry

They do not sweatSince they lose very little water they can live for many days without water

They have long legs which keep their bodies away from heat of the sand They have long eyelashes which keep sand out of the their eyes.

So, these things helps camel to survive in the desertAn adaptation is anything about an animal that helps it live or survive in its environment.

What about desert plants?

Desert plants Store water in tissues They have spines They have thick leaves to retain water.
