ECOSYSTEMS-
Deserts are a very harsh place to live in as there is very less rainfall, so animals and plants adapt to their surroundings.
An example of desert plants are Saguaro cacti and the an example of desert animals are Gila woodpeckers, they make holes in the cacti to make their nest.
Cactus wrens often used a different kind of cactus called Teddy bear cholla.
They are very spiky that very few other animals come close to them so that their eggs are protected.
Lizards and tortoise and other animals rst in shade of plants or burrow into the soil because it is cooler.
At night when it is cold, kangaroos come out to feed, wary of their predators such as rattlesnakes and coyotes.
In the Sonoran desert, it rains heavily atleast once a year and at that time the desert is transformed. Many plants quickly produce flowers.
