They must adapt themselves to the very hot climate and find ways to survive. Sahara Desert is a place seemingly uninviting to living creatures. However, there are previous evidences of desert life. Sahara Desert has adequate landforms and oasis although it is made of compact rocky land and shaped into plateaus. Sahara Desert allows animals to find their shelter and survive in this kind of environment. Recently, the most numerous are cattle. Today, many species found in this desert include foxes, gazelles, desert hedgehog, gerbils, jerboa, deer, and baboon. These are joined by spotted hyena, jackal, Libyan striped weasel, the slender mongoose, and hares. Over three hundred migratory bird species live here. Some of the most common birds found are ostriches, raptors, and ravens. Several types of reptiles such as frogs, toads and crocodiles; snails, brine, shrimp, and other crustaceans are found within the lakes, river and pools. Lizards, chameleons, skinks, and cobras are found among rocks and sand dunes. Most desert animals spend their daytime underground, unexposed to the sun. They also eat foods rich in water content to help them survive.Sahara Desert]]> Desert]]> Oasis]]> Petrolyphs]]> Howli]]> Baraccans]]> Living creatures]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Proof-Of-Life-In-The-Sahara-Desert/519274 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Proof-Of-Life-In-The-Sahara-Desert/519274
