Xerocole

The fennec fox's large ears help keep it cool: when the blood vessels dilate, blood from the body cycles in and dissipates over the expanded surface area.[1]

A kangaroo rat can live its entire life without ever having to drink.[5]

Arabian camels can survive several days and travel up to 160 kilometres (100 mi) without water.[5][6] One way they save water is by excreting very concentrated urine.[7]

Some antelope, such as the addax (pictured) and the oryx, are so efficient at getting water from plants that they never need to drink.[13][24]

A xerocole (fromGreek xēros /ˈzɪroʊs/, meaning "dry",andLatin col(ere), meaning "to inhabit"), commonly referred to as a desert animal, is an animal adapted to live in the desert. The main challenges they must overcome are lack of water and excessive heat. To conserve water, they both avoid evaporation and concentrate excretions (i.e. urine and feces). Some are so adept at conserving water or obtaining it from food that they do not need to drink at all. To escape the desert heat, xerocoles tend to be either nocturnal or crepuscular, most active at dawn and dusk.
