The desert is dry, but there are many animals, insects, and birds that live here. Some of the animals in the desert do not drink water. They get water from the plants and seeds that they eat. Most animals that live in the desert are nocturnal animals. Nocturnal animals sleep during the day and come out at night to find food. These animals live underground to avoid the sun and heat. The most common insects that you will find in the desert are spiders and scorpions even snakes. People who live in desert travel using Camels. Camels are very useful because they don’t need to drink water for a long time. They can lift heavy objects and walk in long distance.
