Abstract
Desert animals must survive two demanding conditions - heat and drought. They have solved these problems in a variety of ingenious ways. Beetles and strange plants in the Namib Desert collect fog. Lizards gear their lifestyle precisely to the position of the sun and spadefoot toad tadpoles turn cannibal to complete a lifecycle before their pool dries out.
