ANIMAL ADAPTATIONS The SpadefootToad borrows under ground to avoid hot weather andpredators. The African Gerbil doesn’t sweat and they hold water in their bodies.
PLANT ADAPTATIONS The cacti's spikes protect him from being eaten by animals and their roots go deep into the ground to get water.
HUMAN INFLUENCES Off road vehicles are fun to ride in the desert, but when used irresponsibly, can destroy local plants and kill animals. Since oil and natural gas are native to the desert their can be oil and gas spills that kill plants and animals.
