Extremely hot weather in deserts is only suitable for certain animals.
Let us have a closer look at how animals living in this area protect

Specific characteristics of parts of the body and behaviours of animals
can help protect them from extreme weather to ensure the survival of
their species.

of the body and behaviours of the animals
protect them from extreme weather? Explain
those specific characteristics and behaviours
with examples.
