Some animals dig underground to keep cool like the bilby. The bilby digs underground 1 to 2 metres and it can be as much as 10 degrees lower.
Many animals adapted for living in the desert do not need to drink water directly, but obtain all their moisture needs from the foods they eat.

The bilby is a small marsupial which does not need to drink water. It obtains enough moisture from the food it eats. Bilbies are omnivores; they have long snouts and very sharp claws which enable them to forage for invertebrates such as insects, as well as dig out plant bulbs and tubers.

Marsupial moles survive by burrowing underground, which is where they spend most of their time. This preserves body moisture and protects against excessive desert heat, and cold at night. They do not need to drink, obtaining all their moisture needs from the food they eat.

Thorny devils are desert-dwelling lizards which have spikes to help direct condensation down towards their mouths. The spikes channel the water into little grooves which then lead directly to the reptile's mouth.
