Large animals inhabit the desert have có evolved a number of adaptations for Reducing the
effects of extreme heat. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect thay absorb
the Sun's rays. Desert am also depart from the normal mammals mammalian practice of maintaini
ng a
constant body temperature. Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside
the body, to involve the expenditure would mà of water and energy, desert mammals có allow
temperatures to rise to what would be thường fever height, and temperatures as high as 46
degrees Celsius measured được Grant's gazelles in. The overheated body then cools
down the cold desert night khi, and indeed the unusually low temperature unfortunately fall by dawn,
as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an Advantage since the heat of the first FEW
hours of daylight is warming up the body Absorbed in, and an Excessive buildup of heat does
not begin off until well Into the day. Another strategy is to animals of large desert tolerate the loss of body có water to a point would be fatal for non-adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30 percent of body weight nó without Harm to Itself as water, human beings provides the un còn die after only 12 to 13 percent Losing of Their body weight. Equally Important An adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink. Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels past tense over 100 liters known to imbibe in vài minutes. A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, can not drink enough water to rehydrate at one session, vì human stomach is not sufficiently big and too rapid vì a dilution of the body fluids from death Causes water intoxication. The tolerance of water loss is of Obvious Advantage in the desert, as animals by
