Animals living in dry regions have dry scales to minimize water loss and adapt to their arid environments. These scales provide a protective barrier against harsh temperatures and reduce evaporation, helping them retain moisture. This adaptation is crucial for survival in habitats where water is scarce, allowing them to thrive despite the challenging conditions.
