While the Namib Desert is classified as a 'cold desert,' is is still quite hot inland from the coastal regions so the gazelle would have no problems staying warm. They might, however, have problems witht he heat. Even the cooler coastal areas are really just cool and not really cold.

How are gazelles adapted to live in the desert?

The shiny, white and rusty red coat effectively reflects sunlight while the incredibly long legs provide extra surface area to the already larger gazelle body. These large surface areas dissipate more heat and help them stay cool in hot desert conditions. The legs and underparts of the body are also white to reflect heat from the warm desert sand and their legs are also exceptionally long and lift the body higher from the warm sand.


Why is a bird classified as warm-blooded?

The term warm-blooded refers to the ability of an animal's body to keep itself at a normal temperature. Birds display this characteristic by being able to keep warm in conditions as cold as the Arctic tundra to the ability to remain cool in desert surroundings.
