Our biome is the desert. It is very unique because the temperature can be either hot or cold. Deserts are classified not for their temperature, but for the average amount of rain fall. For a area of land to be considered a desert, it must recieve less than 10 inches of rain each year. Deserts can be extremely hot during the day but can reach below freezing at night. Even though deserts have very little water, many organisms thrive there. There are plants that are the size of pebbles and plants that are three times the height of a giraffe. Many people think anaimals can't survive in the dessert but many animals have special adaptations to help them survive in the desert.
