Some have spines on their skin--such as horned toads. Others emit a slime when scared that will make the predator ill--toads. Finally, coloration allows them to "melt" into the background and not be seen.

Many are nocturnal and leave their burrow in the sand at night. Although food is scarce, it's definitely there. For the animals which are active during the day, they move quickly over the sand, with minimal contact to avoid getting burned. Although vegetation is scarce, there is the occasional plant. As the whole ecosystem is fairly small, the entire system can survive off the energy captured by a few scattered plants (which may be a dry grass, for example). The largest predators are lizards, which live off small insects like locusts, and these in turn feed off the plants. The lizards are always well camouflaged where they hide, often just beneath the surface of the sand - scarcely noticeable.

most of them dont, they have ways of dealing with the heat, e.g. elephants have big ears and thin skin so heat is lost into the atmosphere, also darker colours reflect a large portion of heat
