All animals face the same problems in adapting to the desert. They must find shelter from daytime heat and nighttime cold‚ as well as find food and water‚ which are often scarce. Yet‚ in spite of these extreme conditions‚ most animal species are represented in the desert environment‚ even some we typically associate with temperate or wet surroundings. Invertebrates Animals without backbones are called invertebrates. They include simple desert animals such as worms‚ and more complex animals such
