    Desert ecosystems have dry climates with scarce rainfall. Vegetation and animals have adapted to the low humidity by taking refuge during the day to conserve water. While cacti are commonly associated with deserts, they are rarely the dominant plant species. Common desert animals include camels, scorpions, rattlesnakes, and ostriches which have physical or behavioral adaptations that allow them to survive and reproduce in the harsh desert environment. Deserts cover a large portion of the Earth's surface and come in different types including hot, coastal, and frozen deserts.
