Best Answer

Plants and animals have adapted over time to fit the hot and dry climate of the Sahara Desert. Many animals spend most time underground in cooler conditions and are able to conserve water within themselves, which is also a trait taken on by plants in the area. Some plants, like the Saguaro cactus, have a waxy top layer that reflects the harsh sunlight.
