Saharan mammals

Saharan mammals are animals adapted to survive the extreme heat, scarce water, and vast sands of the Sahara Desert. They have unique features like thick fur, specialized kidneys, and efficient water conservation abilities. Examples include the camel, which stores fat in its humps, and the gerboa, a desert rodent with large ears that help dissipate heat. Many have developed behavioral strategies such as being active at night or burrowing underground to avoid daytime heat. These adaptations enable the mammals to thrive in one of the world's harshest environments.
