Desert Biome

The desert biome is a unique ecosystem characterized by its extreme temperatures and limited rainfall, averaging around 6 inches per year. Desert life includes remarkable animals like horned vipers, fennec foxes, ground squirrels, and meerkats, all of which exhibit adaptations such as water storage and nocturnal behavior to survive harsh conditions. The vegetation, including cacti and shrubs, has sturdy roots, water retention capabilities, and protective spikes to deter herbivores. Deserts cover approximately one-fifth of the Earth's land surface, illustrating the resilience of life in such an arid environment.
