Camels can drink up to 30 gallons of water in just 13 minutes. Their bodies rehydrate faster and more efficiently than any other mammal. This adaptation allows them to survive for long periods in the desert.
Fennec foxes have extraordinarily large ears which help them to dissipate heat and maintain their body temperate, a critical adaptation in the harsh desert environment.
Despite living in arid environments, Kangaroo rats can survive without ever drinking water. They conserve water by producing concentrated urine and dry feces.
Scorpions are able to survive harsh desert conditions by burrowing deep into the sand, protecting themselves from extreme heat and predators.
Desert tortoises can store up to a litre of water in their bladder which helps them to survive in arid and dry conditions. They also have adapted to eat plants with high water content.
Addax antelopes have a special white coat that reflects sunlight, helping them to stay cool under scorching desert heat. Their coat also traps heat during cold desert nights.
