it depends on what kind of animal you are talking about. Some animals can survive in the desert. They can survive even though the conditions are unsuitable for other animals. Much like fish can survive in the oceans but other animals, for example dogs, can't, snakes and lizards can survive on little water and bare the intense heat found in desert conditions, where other animals would die of heat or dehydration.

Because they live in their own terrains

Say a penguin lived in a desert, he has lots of fat under his body called blubber so he can survive in the cold, so when he is in the desert he would die pretty quickly because he would be so hot

No not very difficult for animals and creatures to live in the desert if that is what they are made for. It would be impossible for say a bear to live very long in a desert.

It's because of the lack of rain. With no rain, there's no water. Therefore, most plants cannot grow. Animals have no plants to eat or water to drink.

Why are desert animals small?

Desert animals are small creatures because they have bodies that can adapt to the heat and dig into the earth to live in a burrow, as many desert animals do. Large animals cannot survive there. For example, an elephant wouldn't be able to survive in the desert because: there just wouldn't be enough food for him to survive; he needs plenty of water to clean himself and to drink; some animals just aren't adjusted to the heat(although an elephant possibly could stand the heat,I wouldn't know). But not all desert animals are small, the camel and the vulture are large animals, and it's mainly because the camel has two humps that store water to travel in the desert, and it has been living in the desert for thousands of years; while the vulture feeds of the spoiled carcasses of perished animals.
