Animals in deserts have evolved remarkable adaptations to survive extreme heat, scarce water, and limited food. For example, camels store fat in their humps for energy, fennec foxes have large ears to dissipate heat, and many reptiles regulate their activity to cooler times of the day, such as dawn or dusk.

Prairie dogs are considered "ecosystem engineers." Their burrows aerate the soil, promote plant growth, and provide shelter for other species like burrowing owls and snakes. Additionally, they serve as prey for many predators, playing a key role in the food chain.

The Amur leopard is critically endangered due to habitat destruction, poaching, and reduced prey availability. Fewer than 100 individuals remain in the wild. Conservation efforts focus on habitat restoration, anti-poaching patrols, and breeding programs to prevent their extinction.

he white-tailed eagle is one of the largest birds of prey, with a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters. It is both a hunter and a scavenger, capable of catching fish and preying on waterfowl. Its majestic appearance and ecological significance have earned it the nickname "King of the Skies."

The Hokkaido fox adapts to seasonal changes by altering its diet and hunting behavior. In summer, it feeds on small mammals, insects, and berries, while in winter, it uses its acute hearing to locate prey beneath the snow and employs a unique "mouse pounce" technique to catch them. Its thick fur also helps insulate it against the cold.
