Explanation:

Nocturnal desert animals keep cool by being active at night, whereas some other desert animals get away from the sun's heat by digging underground burrows. Other common adaptations seen in desert animals include big ears, light-colored coats, humps to store fat, and adaptations that help conserve water.

  • thick, waxy skin to reduce loss of water and to reflect heat.
  • large, fleshy stems to store water.
  • thorns and thin, spiky or glossy leaves to reduce water loss.
  • spikes protect cacti from animals wishing to use stored water.
  • deep roots to tap groundwater.
