The Desert
by Mrs. Hawker
All About the Desert
The desert does not get much rain. It gets cold at night. Many plants do not have leaves. Most animals come out at night. Cacti hold water inside their trunks.
Prickles
The prickles keep animals from eating them.
Waxy Skin
Keeps the water inside.
Small with little or no leaves
These types of plants have little or no leaves so that they do not let water escape.
More About the Desert
Plants adapt to their environment. It is dry so the plants change to survive!
