There are two main types of desert: hot desert and cold desert (also called tundra).
In the tundra, animals need to be able to stay warm, and therefor there are few or no cold blooded vertebrates. Trees can't even grow in cold deserts because the winter is so cold that the soil stays frozen year round, just a few inches beneath the surface.
In hot deserts, plants are primarily affected by the heat because it increases the rate that water evaporates. However, desert plants are very good at conserving their water. For animals, hot deserts are often so hot, that they simply hide underground until nighttime. For those that don't, it increases how much water loss they have and thus, they need more water (although there are animals, like Meerkats, that live in hot deserts and still are active during the day, yet they get all of the water that they need from food).
Clarification:
Tundra and desert are two distinct biomes. While they may share some characteristics, they are different biomes.
Deserts are divided into two general types:
Hot Deserts - such as the Sahara, Arabian Desert, Mojave Desert
Cold Deserts - such as the Atacama, Gobi, Antarctica and Great Basin
Some cold deserts may get quite hot during the summer but winter temperatures can be very cold. They are sometimes called 'cold winter deserts.' Hot deserts usually stay mild in the winter but summers are very hot. Some cold deserts are classified as such because of their geographic location near the sea that tends to moderate their temperatures. Both the Atacama and the Namib Deserts are generally mild the year round with no temperature extremes. Sometimes they are labeled as 'cool coastal deserts.'
the reason why the animals live in the hot desert is because the majority of the animals are lizards and therefor they are cold blooded so they need heat in order to survive
Because there is less food, higher temperatures and fewer resting places than in the rainforest.
There are fewer animals in a desert than in the rainforest because many animals' size prohibits them from finding shelter from the heat. Also large animals are not able to store the water needed to survive in a desert.
suck balls.... nah just kidding . desert animals are animals that live in the desert
Desert animals either feed on plants or they feed on other animals.
Since it has a wide variety of animals and biodiversity, the animals should live and maintain the ecosystem.
the bilby and kowari live in the Simpson desert
There are fewer animals in a desert than in the rainforest because many animals' size prohibits them from finding shelter from the heat. Also large animals are not able to store the water needed to survive in a desert.
There is a lot of animals that live in the rainforest like birds,parrots,tigers,and all kind of other animals.
Because a desert is dry and only certain animals can live their where as a rainforest has rain and sunlight and food that organisms can live with
Chameleons are tropical animals meaning you wont find them in a desert.
because the desert is drier than in the rainforest, so less animals can adapt to the little water. plus, it is too hot for many animals to live there
in the rainforest
Grey wolf not live in the rainforest or the desert because no bisons or other icy animals live in these 2 habitats and also because bisons or other icy animals don't live here.
They live in the rainforest
there are parrots and toucans who live in the rainforest. there are parrots and toucans who live in the rainforest.
The rainforest has many trees. A desert has few trees. So it's not surprising that tree frogs live in the rainforest.
Rainforest animals need the rainforests because they need somewhere to live so they can live their normal habitat.
Wolves are not rainforest animals.
