Antarctica is considered a desert, with annual precipitation of only 200 mm (8 inches) along the coast and far less inland. Only cold-adapted organisms survive there, including many types of algae, animals (for example mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades), bacteria, fungi, plants, and protista.
There are some sand dunes in the desert which reach a height of about 180 meters. Who and What Lives There! The Sahara desert is home to some living organisms. There are approximately 70 animals that live in the Sahara desert. Some of these animals are the scorpion, the lizard, the rat and the obvious one a camel.
