They have long underground burrows.
The desert iguana will burrow for shelter.
I think both things
Animals in the desert would dig holes in the ground or find a little cave and call it home
You can find pictures of squirrels on a wikipedia.
in a tree ANSWER: They hide from the weather in hollow trees and other places where they can find shelter. Ground squirrels dig burrows in the ground and go there. Squirrels can still be seen foraging for food (mainly nuts that they have previously hidden) in the snow. don't be dork wow you're such a nerd, lol
Water, Shelter, Food.
Water and food is hard for humans to find in a desert. Shelter from the sun is also hard to find.
Rabbits and many other animals find shelter and food in desert scrub.
In the desert, on the ground.
Sorry, but actually meerkats can live with other animals if the for example are foraging for food and a storm starts to brew they will find the nearest shelter even if it might be inhabited with a few ground squirrels or snake.
under ground where theres shelter
Squirrels typically build nests called dreys in trees using leaves, twigs, and other natural materials. They also find shelter in tree cavities, burrows, or human-made structures like attics. They prefer nests high above the ground to stay safe from predators.
