Of the semi-arid category, including drought-resistant grasses, cacti and the like.
so that they have a smaller surface area to lose water from
Most desert plants have the same parts as plants from areas with more rainfall. Some, such as cacti, have lost their leaves and replaced them with spines. Some plants grow leaves during rainy seasons and then shed them during periods of drought. They may do this several times each year. Other plants allow their leaves to shrivel during drought and then spring back to life after a good rain.
Javelina, antelope, desert bighorn sheep. tortoises and some rodents will feed on the prickly pear especially in times of drought when few other plants are available.
1. Roots are shallow and spread over a large area to collect as much water as possible. 2. Plants can store nutrients and water needed. 3. Have thorns instead of leaves to minimize water loss and keep animals away.
