How is a crepuscular schedule an adaptation of desert animals to heat and lack of water in their environment?
A crepuscular schedule, where animals are active during dawn and dusk, helps desert animals avoid the extreme heat of midday when temperatures can be lethal. By foraging and hunting during these cooler periods, they minimize water loss and conserve energy. This adaptation also allows them to exploit food resources that may be more available during these times, enhancing their survival in a challenging environment.
