Gemsbok, oryx gazella, have adapted to their arid habitats by not sweating, which helps them conserve water. This physiological trait allows them to maintain hydration levels even in extreme heat, as they can tolerate higher body temperatures without losing moisture. By reducing water loss, gemsbok can survive in environments where water sources are scarce, giving them a competitive edge in harsh conditions. Additionally, their ability to regulate body temperature helps them remain active during the hottest times of the day when other animals may seek shelter.
