How are desert animals able to withstand too much heat?
Some animals have very large ears, such as the desert fox. Their ears have lots of blood-carrying capillaries close to the inner surface of the ear, which allows for their body temperature to be more easily regulated. Many animals escape the heat by going underground during the daylight hours, such as bobcats, hares, and/or rabbits. Others may just lie in shaded areas, like deer.
