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.
Some of the animals that live in the desert are radle snake, kangaroo rats, and there are many different snakes there are coyote. The animals get water from cacti to survive in the wild desert. Some animals only survive in the desert becaus they live under ground.
