Animal. Do with Little Water.

There are some animals which rare
ly drink; for instance, the namas, of
Patagonia, and certain gazelles of the
far east. A number of snakes, liz
ards and other reptiles live in places
devoid of water. A bat of western
America inhabits waterless plains. In
parts of Lozere, France, there arc
herds of cows and goats which hardly
ever drink and yet produce the milk
for Roquefort cheese.
