And since man’sinexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarely comprehend thatmany creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not aliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand itsdesiccating effects. No moistskinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. Thegiants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holdsmore 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 notemaciated.Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word. Thesecret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like maddogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of thempass 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 60degrees.
