Snakes do not have protective modifications like Camels and Coyotes, to survive under the hot desert sun for a long time. How have they considered a part of a desert’s biodiversity?

Answer:

Snakes survive the hot climate of the desert's biodiversity by:

  • Moving around during the day time from diffrent places, either to warm up or cool down.
  • Exposing their body to heat early (cold blooded) in the morning.
  • Hiding themselves under bushes or rocks during the hottest part of the day.
  • Burying their bodies in the sand pits/wholes to stay cool because sand is a poor conductor of heat due which only a few millimetres of the sand is hot due to sun's heat.
  • Staying hydrated by flattening themselves in a could shape and sucking the water that collects on their body from being underground (dens).
  • By coming out in the night (primarily nocturnal) for prey.

Some common examples of snakes found in the desert's are:

  • Desert Viper
  • Desert Boa
  • Common Krait
