How do animals adapt in dry climates?
AnimalsHave large surface area to increase loss of heat by radiation, which allows the animal to keep cool. Have reduced body fat. Body fat acts as an insulating layer preventing loss of heat from the body. PlantsHave spikes instead of leaves.
What animals will survive in desert?
Bats, many snakes, most rodents and some larger mammals like foxes and skunks, are nocturnal, sleeping in a cool den, cave or burrow by day. Some smaller desert animals burrow below the surface of the soil or sand to escape the high temperatures at the desert surface.
What animal is adapted to hot dry sandy desert?
Camels are well adapted for survival in the desert. Their adaptations include: large, flat feet – to spread their weight on the sand. thick fur on the top of the body for shade, and thin fur elsewhere to allow easy heat loss.
What are the two types of dry climate?
There are two dry climate types: arid and semiarid. Most arid climates receive 10 to 30 centimeters (four to 12 inches) of rain each year, and semiarid climates receive enough to support extensive grasslands. Temperatures in both arid and semiarid climates show large daily and seasonal variations.

What animals live in tropical wet and dry?

What is dry climate?
Dry climates receive very little rainfall. They also have high rates of evaporation. This makes them even drier.
