Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all
living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world
where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man’s inexorable necessity
is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely
comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop. M i ọ th c ắ m c

Uncompromising as it is, the dessert has not eliminated life but only those forms
unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water–loving
animals can exist there. Few large animals are found: the giants of the North
America desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is
open, it holds more swift–footed, running, and leaping creatures than the
tangled forest. Its populations are largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence,
and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere
environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere in the world.
The secret of their adjustment lies in a combination of behavior and physiology.
None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the
midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the
burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging
to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150
degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees.
