For this reason camels need very little water. Camels were often used as transportation by people of the desert. Another fairly large animal is the addax. The addax is a desert antelope. They live in the Sahara Desert.
All addaxes are herbivores.
There are less than 200 of them left because of hunting and tourists. Some animals slither or crawl along. Examples of these are snakes and lizards. So do others, like the kangaroo rat. Lizards are commonly found in the desert.
