Answer 1

Answer: The given statement is True.

Animals inhabiting desert areas have certain adaptations that make them survive under extremely harsh environmental conditions ( such as extreme heat and scarcity of water).

They have less body fat as compared to non desert animals because it intensifies heat in them as fat acts like an insulating membrane that traps and retains it.

Therefore, they have got this adaptation to have less body fat. They store their fat in humps or tail region instead of their entire body.
