How do animals and plants survive in the desert?

There are many kinds of deserts such as snow deserts, water deserts, and dry deserts. But when we speak of deserts, we mostly mean the dry deserts. These are stone, debris, or sand deserts that have impressive dunes. These types of deserts are characterized by high temperature differences between day and night. There are sandstorms that threaten humans and animals. Animals and plants must adapt themselves to be able to survive in this harsh environment. Some insects, like beetles, and some animals, like antelopes, have developed special tricks so that they are able to withstand thirst.
