User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In order to survive, desert animals have developed a number of ways of adapting to their habitat. The most common adaptation in behaviour is staying in the shade of plants or rocks or by burrowing underground in the heat of the day. Many desert animals are nocturnal: they stay inactive in shelter during the day and hunt at night when it is cool.

Is the Gobi Desert in Asia the second hottest spot in the world?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, the Gobi is a cold winter desert. While summers can be quite hot, winters can be bitterly cold. The highest temperature ever measured reliably in a desert was in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert. The next hottest would probably be the Sahara Desert.

Are there snakes in the Gobi desert?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no scientific evidence that "Dragons" ever existed. however, there is no evidence against it either

AnswerDragons as large beasts and required a considerable food pyramid to sustain themselves. Now they are bing eaters and may only need to eat once every few years but when they do eat they really eat.

Now consider the Gobi Desert - its really barren, not the sort of place you would expect a Dragon to gather a large amount of food.

Answer

yes there were dragons in the Gobi Desert

How are deserts and steppes different?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Their both arid regions but the main difference is steppes are high altitude plateaus and receive a little more rainfall, enough to typically sustain grass and possibly short hardy trees and shrubs such as in Mongolia or Western China. They tend to be cold regions with short summers as well. Deserts receive little rainfall, or the bulk of their rain during the summer when it's hot and may receive it suddenly where a lot of it flows away in gullies. Deserts can be at high or low altitude, behind or on the leeward side of mountains (Nevada,Utah,Arizona), along coasts w/ cold ocean currents (Mexico,Chile, Peru) and deserts can be hot by day and cold by night (Sahara) or cold most of the year as in Antarctica or Mars.
