Scorching temperatures, poor precipitation, frigid, hostile and dry environment, sparse vegetation, and more are the most recognizable features of deserts. Yet, despite bearing such inhospitable-to-life features, these supposedly barren wastelands are home to over one billion people.
The manner in which the plants and animals living in these harsh lands have adapted to their habitat is but a remarkable example of life on the edge. Desert plants grow long roots to tap water from deep underground, and reduce their leaves to spines to cut down on evaporation. Animals prefer being active nocturnally to escape the sun's heat during the day, and have adapted to keep cool and go without water for days.
