Desert animals adapt to cold nights primarily through behavioral and physiological strategies. Many, like nocturnal rodents, seek shelter in burrows or crevices, which provide insulation from the temperature drop. Others may have specialized fur or body coverings that retain heat. Additionally, some species can lower their metabolic rates to conserve energy during the colder nighttime temperatures.
