Understanding the physiological adaptations of small desert mammals is featured.
Behaviors of physiological adaptations that allow a small desert mammal to survive severe drought conditions include all of the following except:
The absence of sweat glands
Inactivity during the day
The production of nearly dry feces
The use of water derived from the metabolism of food
The excretion of ammonia in substantial amounts
Ideas are then formulated to explain.
Temperature and Osmoregulation are explained.
