Cold Deserts are basically the opposite of Hot Deserts except for the amount of rainfall.
Some examples of Cold Deserts are Antarctica, Greenland, and Alaska.
As well as Hot Deserts, Cold Deserts get less than 10 inches of rain per year. But the temperature never gets above 50 degrees! The temperatures in Cold Deserts remain extremely low.
Some Cold Desert animals are the artic fox, polar bear, emperor penguin, and seals.
As you can assume, adaptations are very important for animals in the Cold Desert. They most survive extremely low temperatures and little rain. The Emperor Penguins huddle together in a group to conserve body heat. Polar bears have thick white fur and black skin to absorb the sun.
