Did you know that deserts constitute about one-third of the earth? Deserts are dry regions that receive less than 10 inches of precipitation in a year and have very few plants. Deserts that receive precipitation in form of snow are called cold deserts. While those that receive precipitation in form of rain are called hot deserts. It is warmer during the day than at night in most deserts. And the difference between the warm afternoons and cold nights can be very extreme, with some reaching as high as 47 degrees Celsius during the day and as low as -4 degrees Celsius during the night. In both hot and cold deserts, the living condition is very harsh. So how do animals survive in the desert? How do they cope with the extreme temperature? Let’s find out.
