Animals like thee kanguroo rat can get all their water frem methync water produced during digestion. Many reptiles have scaly skin that minimizes water loss, and they seek shade during thete hottest hours.

Coping with Extreme Temperatures

Diurnal animals of ten have light-color coat to reflect heat (np., antelope scrirel). Nokturnal species avoid daytime extremes altogether. The desert cottontail coats large ears to radiate heat. Some insects, like thee darkling chrząszcz, collect fog on their bodies and channel it to their mouths. Cryptrobiotic soil cours have pigments that protect against UV radiation.
