Contrary to what it may seem, deserts are home to many different species of animals. These are part of our planet and are essential for ecosystems. However, like the animals that live in jungles or forests, they are suffering the consequences of climate change and pollution. It is our duty to protect them!
The most popular desert animal is, without a doubt, the camel. He can drink almost 180 liters of water in one sitting and then go more than a week without tasting a single drop of water. In addition, camels can withstand long walks through the desert, which is why they have been used as pack animals for centuries.
Similarly, deserts also abound with scorpions. They usually spend most of their time hiding in the sand or under rocks, stalking other insects and small vertebrates to attack with their poisonous stinger. They are also very lonely animals. In fact, if two rival scorpions meet on the same path, they could kill each other.
