Large animals that inhabit the desert have e`volved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects of extreme heat. One adaption is to be light in color, and to ref`lect rather than ab`sorb the Sun's rays.Desert mammals also
A`nother s`trategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be `fatal for non adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30 `percent of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight. An equally important adaption is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink. Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a few minutes. A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to hydrate at one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the body fluids causes death from water intoxi`cation. The tolerance of water loss is of `obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures. Desert-adapted mammals have the further ability to feed normally when ext
