It depends on what they have. If they don't have food or water probably about 1 to 2 days but if they do have food but no water I'd say about 2 - 3 days, it depends on how much also, if they have little water and no food about the same if they have a lot of water and no food then about 4 to 5 days if they have a lot of food and water then about a week and couple days. I'm pretty sure that helps if not just ask me again I'll try to help as much as I can. ;)

Why are desert animals small?

Desert animals are small creatures because they have bodies that can adapt to the heat and dig into the earth to live in a burrow, as many desert animals do. Large animals cannot survive there. For example, an elephant wouldn't be able to survive in the desert because: there just wouldn't be enough food for him to survive; he needs plenty of water to clean himself and to drink; some animals just aren't adjusted to the heat(although an elephant possibly could stand the heat,I wouldn't know). But not all desert animals are small, the camel and the vulture are large animals, and it's mainly because the camel has two humps that store water to travel in the desert, and it has been living in the desert for thousands of years; while the vulture feeds of the spoiled carcasses of perished animals.

What animals live in arid zones?

Desert animals, such as camels in the Sahara Desert or Kalahari Desert and many other, penguins in the Antarctic Desert, polar bears in the Arctic Desert, sometimes lizards The Antarctic Desert is the coldest desert followed by the Arctic Desert near the North Pole at very similar temperature, just slightly warmer, its also the driest desert in the world followed by the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile in South America, its the largest desert followed by the Arctic Desert, and the windiest desert, but I don't know what its followed by. In some parts of the Atacama Desert, there has been no rain ever recorded. The definition of the word desert means less than 25cm of rain per year. The Atacama Desert is too dry for camels, the Antarctic and Arctic desert are too cold for camels. The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world that has hot temperatures, although camels do rely on it raining sometimes. In the Meditteranean, where it has hot dry summers and mild wet winters, camels could probably be able to cope with the Meditteranean's summers. Some people live in the Sahara Desert, and in Arabic, the word Sahara means desert. Lots of countries speak Arabic, like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and a few others.
