Xerocole are animals adapted to live in a desert. Under the scorching rays of sun, the arid and baked sands of deserts may appear to be devoid of animal life. But surprisingly a large number of animal species may thrive there. The animals are either drought evaders or drought resistors. Drought evaders make their appearance only when rain sets in, remaining dormant in the interim. All sorts of specialized animals, ranging from insects to mammals are found in a desert. Such animals are well adapted to desert life.

Xerocoles have developed numerous water conservation adaptations.
Since desert animals have to move far and wide in search of food and water, the majority of them have great speed. The limbs are specialized and adapted to walk on sand.
