A primary method used by desert animals to conserve water is producing concentrated urine.

Desert animals have adapted to their harsh environment by producing concentrated urine as a way to conserve water. This allows them to retain as much moisture as possible, even when water is scarce. By excreting urine with a higher concentration of waste and less water, animals reduce water loss. In addition to this, some desert species have specialized kidneys that help with water retention, and others can go without drinking water for extended periods, relying on metabolic processes or food moisture. These strategies are essential for surviving in arid desert conditions.
