Like Gerbils spend the hottest part of the day in their underground burrows.Darkling beetlescatches drops of moisture on their legs and lift them into the air and drops down into their mouth. In the dry, rocky deserts of America lives a snake called ‘Rattle snake’.It is called rattle snake because it make a sound with its tail.Another animal which lives in desert is Mongoose. Mongooses love to go in search of food together.They are famous for being able to kill snakes without getting hurt.Another animal which lives in desert is the camel. They have long shaggy coats to keep warm in winter and shorter, tidier coats in the summer to keep cool.There are two different kinds of camel in the desert. One is called ‘the Dromedary’. It has only single hump. The other one is called ‘Bactrian camel’ and has two humps.People usually think that camel’s hump is a storage container and it store water in it. But it is not true. Actually humps are full of fat. This fat nourishes the camels when they have nothing to eat.If they have nothing to eat for many days, their humps shrink because fat is used by them.
