In desert grasslands which type of animals are relatively more abundant?

1. Arboreal
2. Aquatic
3. Fossorial
4. Diurnal

Correct answer: Fossorial

Solution

Desert grasslands are hot and dry, so animals that live underground are better protected from extreme temperatures and water loss. Fossorial animals are therefore relatively more abundant than arboreal, aquatic, or purely diurnal ones.
