Facts About Desert

Deserts are places that have little water and do not rain together for nearly months and sometimes even once a year. Therefore, they are the driest place on Earth. But for the animals that live here, it is difficult for them to live for long periods of time without water, especially during the summer. So they find their own alternative ways to beat such difficult conditions of the environment.

For example, the gerils go underground during warm days in their cold burr. The Dark Beetle is an insect that uses a strange way to beat the heat. They lift moisture droplets from their feet into the air and release them into their mouths. Not all deserts are mountains like sand. Each has its own characteristics. Some are stony and have a rugged surface with small shrubby plants. Some colorful flowers are also planted during the spring season.

There are many types of snakes too. There are about 2300 types of snakes. They range in size from the smallest size to more than 11 meters long by 15 centimeters long. Most snakes are harmless. But some are so poisonous that one bite of them is enough to kill anyone. Most of them lay eggs for reproduction but there are many who give birth to their young people. American deserts are dry and rocky in nature. A snake with a bad eye lives with a very poor reputation. He can hear his loud voice even from a distance of 30 meters. It strikes very fast with lightning speed.

There is also a rattler or rattlesnake. Its choice is to avoid the people as much as it can. If it feels disturbed, it keeps its tail straight and makes a loud sound to take the intruder away. But if its warnings are not heeded and it feels threatened, it will turn around. The strange thing is that it cannot hear the sound from its tail.

Like snakes, it also listens through waves generated on the ground. This means that it can feel the vibration but cannot hear the sound. The snake can feel the movement of a walking person but cannot hear his voice how loud he can shout. Rattled snakes are commonly found on the American continent from Canada to Argentina. His choices include small animals such as rats, small plant-eating rodents (volts), rats, etc. They use poisonous poisons in their bodies to kill their prey. Killing or eating other snake animals altogether. Their eating habits also change. Some snakes feed more than once a week and some large pythons may remain uncooked for a year or more.

Mongooses go hunting in groups. They always have a place from where they can see the predators near them. It is interesting to see them tied, piercing their noses, pressing rocks with their claws and scraping the ground with their claws. It is very common to see them traveling in groups of about 20. They travel in search of food. Their food is beetles, millipedes and other small creatures.

They go in groups to search for their food. But if they need to go to places that are not visible - such as behind bushes or rocks they emit sounds like twittering to keep in touch. They take extra care to keep a place from where they can see animals that are dangerous to them such as eagles, eagles and big snakes. When nothing suspicious, they make a special warning call to alert each other.

*Mongoose

Mongoose is known for his ability to kill snakes. They also do not get hurt while doing so. Their reactions are very fast and can move quickly after attacking the snake. They constantly harass the snake with their attacks until it gets tired and kills it.

The special thing of mongoose is that all females give birth to their children at the same time. The children are raised by the entire group. Taking care of children does not mean the responsibility of one, rather than the entire group. They raise them in a den which means they have built inside an old termite mound. When they go out in search of food, the two male members return to take care of the infants and wait until the others return.

Camel is another desert animal. It was first built by people, kept as a domestic animal in homes thousands of years ago. Camels have the unique ability to adjust with their environment like a forest, they live in small groups of 30, they have long, unkempt hair that they use as a coat to keep their bodies warm in winter. And this long coat falls away and becomes shorter in summer approaches to keep cool. Camels can drink about 30 gallons, about 500 glasses of water whenever they are thirsty in just 10 minutes. Its body can get moisture from desert plants and they can remain without water for 10 months.

Camels are of two types - the dromedary containing one hump and the bactrian containing two humps. The desert has humps to help keep the animal alive without water. It acts as a storage container. But it does not store water as people think and believe. These humps are full of fat. This fat feeds the camel when the food is in small quantities. When fat is used, the hump size becomes smaller because it is used instead of food. Camels use many other methods to live and adjust in the desert. Their mouths are hard and tough. They can also eat thorns and they do not hurt them.
