A question: The animal, for example, can stand a rise in the temperature of its blood of 9°C.In addition, it can drink a large amount of water at a time, then store a sufficient amount in its blood cells and other parts of the body to meet its need for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from the water it produces when breathing. 1.What will happen to most animals if the body temperature rises(上升) to 5°C above the normal(正常)? 2.What do many animals have to do since(由于) they can’t store or produce(制造) water in their bodies? 3.Why are most desert animals active in the night? 4.What do these animals do when morning comes? They will die. They must find ways to reduce water loss from their bodies. Because the night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides protection, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds of prey. Most of them find shelter again: Many go underground; nearly all find somewhere shady where they can keep away from the sun’s radiation or heat.
