You’ve seen our series on Biomes: ๐
Now we’re taking a deeper dive so you can #LearnMore with us! Let’s meet the Animals that are specially adapted to live in each Biome.
In this video, we take a closer look at the animals that are able to live in the conditions of the Desert Biome. Deserts are found all over the world, and what they have in common is very little rainfall. We also tend to think of deserts being hot places, but did you know there are cold deserts as well? If you’d like to learn more about that, check out our Desert Biome video next.
In this video, we’re focusing on the adaptations the animal residents of the desert have, that make them well-suited for life there. How do they get by in such a dry place? Do they have strategies for conserving water? Sometimes these adaptations are physical, sometimes, behavioral. See if you can notice the difference for each animal we talk about!
