| In fact, most small desert creatures are nocturnal. so it's only now that you can judge just how much life there can be in the desert. But moisture, lost even at night, has to be replaced sometime somehow and that problem dominates the lives of all desert dwellers. The Atacama in Chile. This is the driest desert in the world. Some parts may not see rain for 50 years and with such a record you'd expect the place to be completely barren. These are South America's camels, guanacos. They're very good at conserving moisture but they nonetheless need a regular supply of water. They get it partly from cactus flowers but that explanation raises another question. How do the cacti survive without rain? | |
| 事实上，所有的小型沙漠动物，都是夜间活动的，因此只有在晚上你才真正知道，沙漠上有多少生命在活动，但是失去的水分，必须在一定的时间内补充回来，所有的沙漠动物都是如此。 这里是智利的阿塔卡马沙漠，它是世界上最干燥的沙漠，有些地方可能长达50年不下雨，在这种情况下，你可能会认为这里是不毛之地，这是南美洲的野生羊驼，它们非常善于储藏水分，但即使如此，它们从不放过，任何一个补充水分的机会，它们的一部分水分来自仙人掌花，但这种解释引出另外一个疑问，没有雨水，这种植物是如何生存的呢？ |
