Some desert animals live in burrows to keep themselves out of the sun during the scorching part of the day.
Explanation:
- Desert animals have adapted in unique ways to live in this hot and dry environment.
- Each and every desert animal keep them out of the sun during the scorching part of the day.
- They stay deep underground in burrows.
- There the sand is much cooler and it makes them stay as cool as possible, to save their bodily water content.
- During the nighttime, once the sun sets and the sand cools off, the animals come out of their burrows and hunt for food.
- Since these animals are active at night and rest during the day, they are called nocturnal.
