Let’s go through each animal one by one and think: “Does this animal live in the desert?”
1.
Vulture – Yes! Vultures can be found in deserts. They eat dead animals and are good at flying long distances to find food in dry places.
2.
Camel – Definitely yes! Camels are famous for living in deserts. They can go without water for a long time and have humps to store fat.
3.
Seahorse – No! Seahorses live in the ocean, not in deserts. Deserts are dry land — no water for seahorses!
4.
Monkey – Usually no. Most monkeys live in forests or jungles where there are trees and lots of fruit. Some might live near dry areas, but not true desert animals.
5.
Cow – No. Cows need grass and water every day. They live on farms or fields, not in hot, dry deserts.
6.
Chameleon – Some chameleons DO live in deserts! Especially the ones that are green or brown and can hide in sandy places. So yes — we’ll count it.
7.
Snake – Yes! Many snakes live in deserts. They don’t need much water and can slither around in the sand.
8.
Turtle (sea turtle) – No. This looks like a sea turtle — it has flippers and lives in the ocean. Not a desert animal.
9.
Scorpion – YES! Scorpions love deserts. They hide under rocks during the day and come out at night. Very common in deserts.
So, the animals that live in the desert are:
- Vulture
- Camel
- Chameleon
- Snake
- Scorpion
Final Answer:
Circle these animals: vulture, camel, chameleon, snake, scorpion.
