How do these animals get water and stay alive? Everything is hot and dry in the daytime, but the night is cold. Plants often have dew (露珠) on them in the early morning. This is because cold air can’t hold as much water as hot air. Small insects can drink the dew, and bigger animals eat the plants with the dew on them. Some small animals get water from the bodies of insects. Bigger animals get water from the bodies of small animals. This North American bird is called a roadrunner (走鹃). It runs fast and catches small snakes, lizards and scorpions. Some animals can wait many years for water. When the rain falls, baby shrimps (虾) come out of their eggs. They grow quickly and lay new eggs. Then the water dries up, and the shrimps die. But the new eggs do not die. They wait in the ground for the next rain. They can wait for 50 years. Most big animals can’t live in the desert because they need a few litres (公升) of water every day. They can’t keep water in their bodies for a long time. But camels are different. They can drink 90 litres of water in ten minutes, and then drink nothing for a week. 1．From the passage we know that the desert is a place with ________.
