The biome I was assigned was desert. The desert has many animal and plants you wont see regularly in other biomes. For example the most common plant in the desert is the cactus and even though it's common in the desert it isn't common anywhere else. There aren't many animals that are in the desert due to the hot temperature and low amount of water. In order to be able to survive the deserts the animals there need to know how to adapt to the hot heat and save their water. Some animals there are scavengers like the vulture. There's also spiders, meerkats, special kinds of bunnies, bushes, cacti, etc. The average rainfall each year is less than 11 inches! Even if it rains the water that remains quickly evaporates due to the dry sand and the intense heat. Most land in the desert is covered by sand. The soil there turns into sand.
