Dig shallow pits to catch water when expecting rainfall
Camel
Can live without water for many weeks and drink up 100 litres at on drinking session
Cactus
Swollen stem to store water
Protect themselves from high temperatures
Rodent

Jackrabbit and fennec fox
Large ears
Large number of blood vessels
Greater body surface area
Lose heat faster
Snake,rodent,foxes
