It is important to note that such animals living in desert conditions do not waste water by sweating to control body temperature. They mostly try burrowing during the day time to avoid getting dehydrated. Their urine is highly concentrated and it is mostly in the form of uric acid. These means help the desert animals to survive in such harsh conditions.
