NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the animals who live in the desert are insects, scorpions, reptiles and spiders. Most of the mammals who live in the desert are very small, but large mamals like camels, gazelles and donkeys have adapted to deal with the very dry conditions and can survive for long periods of time without water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deserts receive less than 25 centimetres of rainfall (10 inches) on average. Forests are home to a wide variety of plants and wildlife. Deserts can support a small number of plant and animal species. Forest plants and animals need not adapt themselves to dry conditions as there is no water scarcity in forests.

Detailed explanation-3: -Extreme Temperatures The temperatures in the desert range quite a bit, from getting cold enough to snow and to freeze water in the winter, to hot enough to fry an egg on a rock on a summer day. This broad range of temperatures is one reason that the desert is considered an “extreme” biome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Crocodiles cannot live long on land, especially in desert regions where the temperature is high. They need waterbodies to fulfil their food and shelter requirements.
