    Many desert animals have physical and behavioral adaptations to survive in arid habitats with little water. Physically, they have mechanisms like impermeable skin, the ability to concentrate urine, storing water internally, and light coloration to reflect sunlight. Behaviorally, they are nocturnal, seek shade, pant to cool down, aestivate during droughts, and only breed after rare rainfall.
