How does the sidewinder adapt to the desert climate?
The sidewinder is a kind of snake for starters. It lives in deserts, and such needs certain features to survive. As its name would suggest it uses a sideways motion to move quickly on effectively over the loose sand without sinking or upsetting much sand. As it is reptillian in nature, it sunbathes to keep its temperature high during the day, and during th cold night has adapted to bury itself underneath the sand to maintain its body heat.
