Desert animals are distinguishable by their physical adaptations to be able to live in a harsh, dry environment. In the desert, water can be scarce and temperatures can reach upwards of 120 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius). This is why desert dwellers, such as the Camel and the Jackrabbit, have evolved to be equipped to handle extreme conditions with the Camel having the ability to store and carry large amounts of water and the Jackrabbit with large ears that help cool and deflect heat.

Not only can deserts be extremely hot, but their temperatures can also drop at night, as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celsius) due to the lack of cloud cover to maintain heat. The animals living in these desert habitats have evolved to adapt and thrive in one of the most inhospitable, ever-changing habitats on Earth.

How do desert animals survive without water?

Desert animals can survive without water through various physical adaptations. For example, the camel has a hump in which fats are stored and small insects absorb moisture from their surroundings or water droplets from xerophyte plants. Some animals also rest in the colder areas below the desert soil.

Why do desert animals have fur?

Desert animals may have fur to help provide some traction from the ground. Fur also helps the skin of desert animals from the hot sand and ground surfaces. The fur also helps protect them from the sun rays while serving as insulation during cold nights.

What do animals eat in the desert?

Typically, animals in the desert eat plants, insects, and carcasses. It is often easier for smaller animals to find food in the desert and stay satisfied. This is due to the scarcity of food and water as well as extreme climate conditions. Animals usually find food by scavenging around the desert.

Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda)

The Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda), found in northern Africa as well as the Sinai and Arabian peninsulas, is a small-sized fox distinguished by its tiny head and large ears. In addition to it being a distinctive feature, the ears of the Fennec Fox work to dissipate heat for this desert dweller.

The Fennec Fox also has thick, cream-colored fur which works to deflect the heat of the sun during the day. Ultimately, the Fennec Fox will avoid heat by spending its days burrowed underground, feeding on insects and smaller animals at night.

Fennec Foxs have a shoulder height of 7”-9” (18-23 cm), body length between 10”-16” (25-41 cm), and an overall weight in the range of 2-4 lb (1-2 kg). The typical lifespan of a Fennec Fox is 8-10 years in the wild and up to 10-14 years in captivity.

Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis)
Comparison illustration of the size of a Ferruginous Hawk to other species of birds of prey

The Ferruginous Hawk (Buteo regalis) is a hawk that occupies arid grasslands and prairies in the interior parts of North America. They have broad wings and a broad gray, rusty, or white tail, and the legs are feathered to the talons. The two color forms are light morph and dark morph. Light morph birds have rusty brown upper parts and pale heads, necks, and underparts. Dark morph birds have dark brown upper parts and underparts with light upper and lower wings. They mostly hunt small to medium-sized mammals, but their diets vary geographically, and they will also eat birds, reptiles, and some insects.

The Ferruginous Hawk has a wingspan in the range of 52”-59.8” (132-152 cm) and total weight of 2.2-4.6 lb (.98-2.08 kg). The body of the Ferruginous Hawk has an overall length between 19.7”-27.2” (50-69 cm), body width of 6.3”-8.9” (16-22.5 cm), and standing height of roughly 14.2”-19.5” (36-49.5 cm). The typical lifespan of the Ferruginous Hawk is between 16-24 years.

Roborovski Dwarf Hamster

The Roborovski Dwarf Hamster, whose scientific name is Phodopus roborovskii, is a small species of hamster measuring two to three inches long on average, with a portly body, short legs, and short tail. Dwarf Hamsters are omnivores with specific diets as a result of the region they inhabit and the season.

Due to its tiny size however, it will more often prey on insects rather than on smaller animals. The Roborovski Dwarf Hamster lives in burrows dug underground to protect itself, either occupying these shelters alone or in small groups depending on the species.

Roborovski Dwarf Hamsters have a height of 1.1”-1.9” (2.7-4.7 cm), body length between 2”-3” (4.5-7.6 cm), and an overall weight in the range of .7-1 oz (20-30 g). The tail length of a Roborovski Dwarf Hamster is .125” (3 mm). Roborovski Dwarf Hamsters have a typical lifespan of 2-3 years in the wild and 4-5 years in captivity.

Giant Centipede (Ethmostigmus rubripes)
Comparison illustration of the size of a Giant Centipede to other myriapods

The Giant Centipede (Ethmostigmus rubripes) is a centipede that is widely distributed in Australia with variations in size, coloration and patterning, and habitat. Shades of yellow and orange are the most common. Giant Centipedes in arid climates are often pale yellow, and those in rainforest habitats are dark green or blue. Habitat also influences body proportion; those in arid habitats are heavily built with proportionally short legs, and Giant Centipedes in rainforests have longer legs and a lighter build. The species lives in sheltered places like under logs, leaf litter and bark, and beneath rocks. As a voracious eater, the Giant Centipede consumes insects, snails, worms, and small vertebrates.

The Giant Centipede has an overall length between 3”-6.3” (7.5-16 cm) and width of .28”-.55” (7-14 mm). The typical lifespan of the Giant Centipede is between 3-5 years.

Marbled Polecat (Vormela peregusna)
Illustrated comparison diagram of the Marbled Polecat compared to similar Mustelid species

The Marbled Polecat, Vormela peregusna, is a small mammal that is found in drier regions and grasslands of southeastern Europe to western China. Physically, the marbled polecat has a short muzzle and large, distinctive ears; they have shorter limbs with strong, long claws, and the fur around the face is black and white. They are most active during the morning and evening, and as their eyesight is weak, they depend on their well-developed sense of smell. The species are known to eat ground squirrels, voles, mole rats, house mice, and other rodents. There is also record of the marbled polecat taking domestic poultry like chickens, and stealing smoked meats and cheeses.

The Marbled Polecat has a body length in the range of 11.4”-13.8” (29-35 cm) and total weight of .7-1.5 lb (.3-.7 kg). Marbled Polecats have a shoulder height between 5.1”-6.3” (13-16 cm), body width of 2.75”-3.9” (7-10 cm), and tail length of 5.1”-8.7” (13-22 cm). The typical lifespan of the Marbled Polecat is between 4-9 years.
