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.
