Two endangered animals in the desert are antelopes and gazelle.

The way frogs survive in the desert is that they go underground and because of their moist bodies it keeps them cool from the heat of the desert.]]> 2016-05-25 02:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112440493 wal0029 https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112440503 The hottest temperature in the desert had went up to 134 degrees in California. 10/6]]> 2016-05-25 02:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112440503 wal0029 https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112450076 The Joshua tree is a tree that survives in the desert. The Joshua tree is the largest yuccas. The Joshua tree is one of very few trees to survive in the harsh conditions of the desert, if a Joshua tree does not get enough water the Joshua tree will slowly die and then will begin to lose balance and fall down.]]> 2016-05-25 04:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112450076 bli00051 https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112450464 At night the heat escapes from the ground and goes into the air which makes the temperature in the desert lowers and is cool.]]> 2016-05-25 04:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112450464 den0007 https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112450535 This is a fungi, 
There are no fungi in the desert, this is because there are no trees to stick on, They will fall off.

The plant doesnt drink the water sraight away the plant stores the water and waites till it is a very hot day and needs the water, and when this happens this is when the plant drinks some of the water stored in their roots.]]> 2016-05-25 05:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112453597 wal0029 https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112992299 In the desert it can get really hot. In the desert there is very little rainfall or not at all, but plants need water to survive. So when it does rain in the desert the roots of the plants catch the rainfall and store it in their roots. When the plants  really need water they use the water that they stored in their roots.]]> 2016-05-30 01:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112992299 den0007 https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112992310 There are different types of wildlife in the desert, there are Mammals, Reptiles, Birds, Insect.

The way small animals survive in the desert is that they either go underground, either in a borrow or in a plant ( cactus, tree.) In the desert there are also big animals. The way big animals hide from predators is that they go hide behind a big rock or go into a cave. If the big animal is found, the big animal must fight for freedom]]> 2016-05-30 01:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112993085 bli00051 https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112993374 Yes, the water goes go through the ground into the plants' roots, that then the roots suck up the water and store the water until the plant really needs it.]]> 2016-05-30 01:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112993374 wal0029 https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112994248 2016-05-30 01:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/112994248 wal0029 https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/113110229 2016-05-31 02:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/113110229 bro0072 https://padlet.com/wal0029/r6twcwz0up1z/wish/113110536 Unlike the sand in your backyard which is made with water and plant roots, desert  sand comes from far away.
