Why are turtles able to live in the desert?
One of the reasons snakes can live in the desert is because they are cold blooded. This means they need direct sunlight and heat to warm their bodies enough to even be able to move. Their need for water is not high, and so they obtain a lot of their moisture needs through the food they ingest.

How do Australian animals adapt to the desert environment?
Some animals dig underground to keep cool like the bilby. The bilby digs underground 1 to 2 metres and it can be as much as 10 degrees lower.Many animals adapted for living in the desert do not need to drink water directly, but obtain all their moisture needs from the foods they eat.The bilby is a small marsupial which does not need to drink water. It obtains enough moisture from the food it eats. Bilbies are omnivores; they have long snouts and very sharp claws which enable them to forage for invertebrates such as insects, as well as dig out plant bulbs and tubers.Marsupial moles survive by burrowing underground, which is where they spend most of their time. This preserves body moisture and protects against excessive desert heat, and cold at night. They do not need to drink, obtaining all their moisture needs from the food they eat.Thorny devils are desert-dwelling lizards which have spikes to help direct condensation down towards their mouths. The spikes channel the water into little grooves which then lead directly to the reptile's mouth.

What animals live in arid zones?
Desert animals, such as camels in the Sahara Desert or Kalahari Desert and many other, penguins in the Antarctic Desert, polar bears in the Arctic Desert, sometimes lizards The Antarctic Desert is the coldest desert followed by the Arctic Desert near the North Pole at very similar temperature, just slightly warmer, its also the driest desert in the world followed by the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile in South America, its the largest desert followed by the Arctic Desert, and the windiest desert, but I don't know what its followed by. In some parts of the Atacama Desert, there has been no rain ever recorded. The definition of the word desert means less than 25cm of rain per year. The Atacama Desert is too dry for camels, the Antarctic and Arctic desert are too cold for camels. The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world that has hot temperatures, although camels do rely on it raining sometimes. In the Meditteranean, where it has hot dry summers and mild wet winters, camels could probably be able to cope with the Meditteranean's summers. Some people live in the Sahara Desert, and in Arabic, the word Sahara means desert. Lots of countries speak Arabic, like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and a few others.

How do desert plants and animals go many days with out water?
Desert animals are specially adapted to the dry conditions. Most of them do not need to drink water, but obtain sufficient moisture from the foods they eat. Some desert animals burrow down deep to find water. Others are specifically "shaped" to collect water. For example, the body of the thorny devil in Australia is completely covered in sharp spikes which actually collect the moisture that condenses in the early morning (or the occasional rains) and channel it directly down towards its mouth.Read more: How_do_desert_animals_live_without_water
