Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animals survive in deserts by living underground or resting in burrows during the heat of the day. Some creatures get the moisture they need from their food, so they don’t need to drink much water, if any. Others live along the edges of deserts, where there are more plants and shelter.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fennec foxes live in the Sahara desert and other hot, dry regions of Northern Africa. This climate is extremely hot and the fennec fox needs to be a master at keeping cool. To do this, one adaptation is its large ears. Their ears are filled with blood vessels and help to radiate heat out and away from the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -getting moisture from their seed diet; living in burrows during the day to avoid extreme heat; having large back legs that allow them to jump almost 3m to avoid predators; having large ears, which enables them to hear approaching predators.
