Freshwater Marsh - a wetland located near creeks, streams, rivers and lakes Temperate ponds Marine (ocean or sea) - including euphotic (sunlit) zone littoral or intertidal zones coral reef (warm shallow salt-water environments based on coral formations) estuarine biomes (where rivers meet oceans) pelagic biomes (open seas near the surface) disphotic (twilight) zone midnight (aphotic) zone benthic biomes (bottom) sea trenches sea Caves And many more. Mountain biomes: there are a lot of different mountainous biomes, from grasslands at low altitudes, taiga (coniferous forests) below the treeline, and alpine (the same as tundra) Temperate Rain Forest - cool and wet Tropical Rain Forest - warm and very wet Land Cave - cool and dark Wetlands - there are many types of wetlands, including swamps, marshes, moors, bogs, fens, sloughs, etc
Although it is tough to find anything living in the Atacama there are isolated pockets and small patches of plants, which support life for animals and insects. Even though Atacama gets almost no rainfall, there is water in this arid place and you'll find it in the following places: Salt Lakes During years of heavy rainfall in the distant past, enough water accumulated in basins found throughout the Andes to create lakes

Desert Biomes
Most desert animals are nocturnal - they avoid the extreme midday heat by feeding at night, when the temperature has dropped and the air is much cooler. When it rains, cactuses and other succulent (juicy) plants take up as much water as possible and store it in their leaves and stems which will provide the water they need during the dry months
The desert is a harsh environment with very little rainfall and extreme temperatures; a desert is defined as a region that gets less than ten inches of precipitation per year. There are pages on the rattlesnake, javelina, coyote, black widow spider, desert tortoise, fennec fox, gila monster, jerboa, pupfish, camel, scorpion, roadrunner, and vulture

The Bactrians' one-humped relatives, known as Arabian camels or dromedaries, are equally valuable in the searing desert regions of North Africa and Asia. Over a four-day period a camel can haul 375 to 600 pounds (170 to 270 kilograms) at rates of 29 miles (47 kilometers) a day and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) an hour
Though many people think that camels only live in hot climates, they do well in temperature ranges from 20 degrees F (minus 29 degrees C) to 120 degrees F (49 degrees C)
If you ever find someone who is suffering from dehydration, take them to the nearest shade, give them water, tend to their needs, and get help as soon as possible. Then the angry cloud might say, "Where the heck did that mouintain come from?" Being really mad, the cloud will drop all of his rain in order to get over the mountain, where he can raise a big windstorm in the desert

Some arthropods, such as the fairy shrimps and brine shrimps, survive as eggs, hatching in saline ponds and playas during summer or winter rains, and completing their life cycles. Some predatory and scavenging animals can obtain their entire moisture needs from the food they eat (e.g., Turkey Vulture) but still may drink when water is available
But without the benefit of modern technology, animals that make their home in the heat have had to come up with their own ways of staying cool and hydrated. The Namib Desert in Africa has very little fresh water to speak of, but due to its proximity to the sea, it receives a daily dose of fog in the cool hours of the early morning
BBC Bitesize - How animals survive in the desert
The presenter describes the sand and heat of the desert before explaining how the fringe-toed lizard has adapted to the environment by keeping out the sand with u-bend nostrils and large scales to grip the loose sand. Pupils could also test different materials to see which ones are used for wearing shoes in hot weather and compare them with the flat, wide, leathery pads on a camel

Their kidneys are adapted to restrict water loss, their extensive burrowing may cause the formation of dew, which can then be consumed, and they will receive moisture from the food that they eat
There are several species of camels, such as the Arabian camel and Bactrian camel, which vary slightly in physical appearance, but share a suite of characteristics and physical features, such as broad flat feet and a double row of eyelashes, to help them survive in hot and arid deserts. Camels can go as much as a week (in hot weather), and sometimes months (in colder temperatures) without water, and it was once even erroneously thought that they could store water in their humps

Concentration of urine not only serves to conserve water but allow camels to drink water even more concentrated than sea water and to eat very salty plant that would otherwise be poisonous . Also a small but mobile tongue with numerous hard , dentigerous papillae protruding from the lining of the cheeks and lateral aspect of the tongue assist in the mastication and ingestion of food
The lizard's name refers to the scales on its hind feet, which resemble fringes, These scales enable the lizard to move quickly across sand, providing traction in the desert environment

Learn the Adaptations of the Camel to a Desert Environment
For centuries these herbivorous animals have aided men crossing vast desert lands with ease because of their remarkable adaptations to the hot and harsh surroundings. To get styles dynamically added to elements by scripts, there is no unified cross-browser way to do it, so you have to construct a string (like cssText in Chrome) and use that instead
BBC Bitesize - KS2 Science - How are camels adapted to live in the desert?
Description Why are camels good at living in the desert? In this animation, Grandad Charlie, an elderly tortoise, tells his grandson Sam a story to illustrate how camels are adapted to live in the desert. Pupils could also test different materials to see which ones are used for wearing shoes in hot weather and compare them with the flat, wide, leathery pads on a camel
