Answer:

lack of water and high concentration of heat and dryness

Step-by-step explanation:

Deserts don't get that much rainfall, so desert wildlife are adapted to survive in such a dry climate. Take the camel, for instance, it can store three bathtubs of water in it's hump, so it can go a very long time without water. And without that rainfall, the desert is dry and, usually, very hot. Animals have adapted to this by only coming out in the nighttime when it's cooler.

hope this helped:)

The two main adaptations that desert animals must make are how to deal with lack of water and how to deal with extremes in temperature. Many desert animals avoid the heat of the desert by simply staying out of it as much as possible
