Many marsupials of the dasyurid group, i.e. carnivorous mammals, live in the desert. These include various species of antechinus, mulgara, phascogale and dunnart. These mammals are especially adapted to live in the Australian desert because they burrow deep into the desert sand and tend to be nocturnal. They also have low moisture needs, obtaining most of their water through the foods they eat, particularly insects. The dingo is also found in the Australian desert.
In the desert of North America can be found mammals such as the kangaroo rat (different from the rat-kangaroo of Australia), coyote, bobcat, collared peccary, armadillo, Mexican wolf, American badger and Swift fox.
Desert animals elsewhere in the world include the camel, aardwolf, African wild ass, Sand cat, hyrax, gerbil and cougar.
