                                                           Life in the Desert

     There are different kinds of deserts. There are hot deserts and there are cold deserts. A desert is a very dry place. It has very little rain.  In hot deserts, it is very hot during the day and then very cold at night. There is very little water in the desert. Sometimes you can find water in rocks underground. These places are called oases. It can be very windy in the desert, too.

     There are many plants, animals, insects and birds in the desert. Plants and animals need water to survive.  Some plants keep rain water in their leaves for a long time. Other plants have long roots. The roots take water from deep under the ground.

    Some animals in the desert never drink. They get water from seeds and plants. Many animals in the desert sleep during the hot day and come out at night.

    People often travel in the desert on camel. These animals can drink a lot of water very quickly and then they do not need to drink for a very long time.
