This is the Desert Biome. You will most likely associate deserts with cacti, camels, and sand dunes, but there is much more to it than just that.
Deserts have a varied species of animals that have adapted to the harsh climate of the desert.
The desert's climate is very hot and dry. Not many plants and animals can survive, but the ones that do are adapted to the torturous climate. As if the heat were not enough, at night it cools down to very cold temperatures. Deserts are usually located in areas near the equator. Most are just barren land with sand that strecthes for miles.
