Small desert mammals escape the extreme climate of the deserts by living in burrows. Temperatures within a burrow do not fluctuate as much as those on the surface. The deeper the burrow the better the insulation, so some desert mammals, such as Jerboas in Northern Africa, dig deeper burrows in the summer to escape the heat. During cold desert nightd and in the winter, a burrow is warmer than the surface air. Burrows are also used to store food, such as seeds, for when food is scarce. Many small mammals in hot deserts come out only at night or at dawn and dusk to avoid the heat of day as well as day-active predators, If they do come out in the day or moonlit nights, their fur helps them hide by blending in with their backgrounds. Some small mammals escape predators by leaping out of reach or running away.

Kangaroo Rat comes out of their burrows at night, hopping along on their long back legs. They move from bush to bush searching for seeds. Even on their dry diet, Kangaroo rats get by without needing to drink water. They conserve moisture by producing only a small amount of urine and dry droppings. Like all rodents they do not sweat. In an emergency, they can cool down by licking the fur on their necks.
