10. The Adaptable Oryx
Desert Antelope
The Oryx is a striking antelope with long, straight horns and a coat that reflects sunlight. These features help keep them cool and deter predators. Oryx can go for long periods without water, getting moisture from the plants they eat. Their efficient kidneys help minimize water loss, making them well-adapted to desert life.
Survival Strategies
When temperatures soar, Oryx reduce their activity and seek shade. Their keen sense of smell helps them locate water sources over great distances. These survival strategies allow the Oryx to thrive in arid environments, proving they are masters of desert adaptation.
