Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the

tissues

of all living things,

the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water

are rare. And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at

frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their

entire lives without a single drop. Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not a limited life

but only

those forms

unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist skinned, water-

loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found.

The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since

desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the

tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by

stealth. Yet they are not

emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as

healthy as animals anywhere else in the world. The secret of their adjustment lies in the

combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive, like mad dogs and

Englishmen, if they went out in the midday sun, many would die in a matter of minutes. So

most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground,

emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150

degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees.
