10, jerboa These cute little rodents have long legs, can jump very high, and the speed can reach 16 miles per hour, so it is difficult to be caught. Surprisingly, jerboa hardly needs to drink water. Like all desert creatures, it extracts enough water from food to meet its own needs.
9. Sand Fox These foxes like night activities and are characterized by very large ears. Ears can not only help them hear better sounds in the desert, but also help them release their body temperature and keep cool. They are small and light, usually weighing only a few pounds.
8. The monitor lizard is poisonous and becomes very aggressive when threatened, especially in the cold season. The monitor lizard is not only a breeding species in the Sahara desert, but also can live in forests and even wetlands.
7. Ostrich When you think of desert animals, not many people think of ostriches, but ostriches are the fastest animals in the Sahara desert. They can travel at 40 miles an hour, almost as fast as gazelles.

4. Antelopes are like gazelles. Adax antelope is famous for its smooth and beautiful fur. They are one of the endangered animals on the earth, with long and elegant horns and flat feet. Sadly, they were hunted to only about 500.
Scarabs are also famous for their less serious but more descriptive names. Scarabs are sacred symbols of ancient Egyptians, and they have some impressive adaptability. They live almost entirely on animal waste.
2. Gazelle, also called Ariel Gazelle, usually weighs about 25 kilograms. Many animals in the Sahara desert prey on gazelles, so Docas gazelles have evolved very fast and can occasionally jump.
1 Camel When you think of the desert, the first animal you think of may be the Sahara desert camel. The hump on the camel's back stores a lot of fat. When camels can't find any food, they can burn fat to get energy. Although most of us are looking for ways to burn fat and lose weight, camels actually survive by carrying extra fat through natural evolution!
