Some tortoise species in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts in North America have large bladder to hold more urine, according to Popular Science.Turtles can absorb water directly from the urine to survive in dry conditions for a year or longer without drinking water.(Photo: Wikipedia).

Two-legged mice , living in dry lands in the western United States, never have to drink water.They take water from the nuts that they eat every day.Two-legged gerbils can also save water by reducing metabolism, thereby reducing the rate of transpiration through the skin or through breathing.(Photo: Wikipedia).

In the study published in November 2016, Experimental Biology, scientists at the University of Western Australia (UWA) pointed out one of the main ways to drink water lizards is to bury the body in moist sand, after It draws water in the sand through capillary tubes on the skin and pushes it toward the mouth.(Photo: Flickr).

In the hot dry season, Water-Holding Frog living in Australia secretes a waterproof mucous cocoon, to keep the body moist.They hibernate on the ground and wait for the rainy season to arrive.This frog can last for two years or longer thanks to fluid stored in the bladder.(Photo: IP Factly).

Camels do not contain water in the hump, so they must save water.At night, cold air in the desert cools the camel's nasal cavity.The fog in the breath condenses inside the nose and is absorbed again.The camel nose is long and winding, saving 60% of moisture when exhaling.(Photo: Wikipedia).

Gazelle antelope lives in the Arab desert have the ability to reduce the need to use oxygen in the body if the weather is dry.By reducing the size of the heart and liver by 20 to 45%, they will breathe less and reduce the amount of water drained through the respiratory tract.(Photo: Wikipedia).
