14. Desert is a vast sandy stretch of land.
This area is considered to be barren land
without water and vegetation. Sometimes
they do not get rains for long time. Even
the desert animals need water. This
lesson presents life style of animals in
desert. How they survive under very
harsh conditions.

15. Deserts are the driest places on
earth and sometimes go for months,
or even years, without rain. But
even the desert animals cannot
survive without water ,or for long
periods in the scorching sun, so
they have had to find different ways
of coping with the harsh conditions.
For example ,gerbils spend the
hottest part of the day in cool under
ground burrows.

16.  And strange insects called darkling beetles
are experts at catching drops of moisture on
their legs ,then lifting them into the air until
the drops trickle down into their mouths. Not
all deserts are endless seas of rolling sands
dunes. Some are rocky or pebbly and dotted
with small bushes while others are sprinkled
with colourful flowers during the spring.
 There are more than 2300 different kinds of
snakes around the world, ranging from just
fifteen centimetres long to more than eleven
metres. Most snakes are quite harmless—but
there are a few that are so poisonous

17.  They can kill a human being with just one
bite.
 Most snakes lay eggs, but there are many
which give birth to their young. In the dry,
rocky deserts of America lives a rather evil
looking snake with a very bad reputation. Its
Frightening rattle can be heard as far as thirty
metres away, and it can strike with lightening
speed.
But the rattlesnake, or rattler as it sometimes
called, prefers to avoid people if it possiblycan.
