Small feet so it does no gain too much heat (small surface area), big ears to radiate and lose heat, as well as a long tail. It is also fast, so that it does not have its feet spending too much time on the sand and getting burnt.

These rats can survive because of moisture. They burrow to keep out of the hottest part of the day. They are adapted to survive on a very meagre, low nutrition diet.
