subject: Ever Spotted Wild Life On Dune Drives In Dubai? [print this page] The deserts of Dubai seem beautiful yet empty in the bright sunshine, especially when youre out there performing your favourite desert safari activities like dune buggy safari or quad bike safari in Dubai. In spite of visiting the golden sands a number of times you might have never spotted any sandy creatures including birds or reptiles out there. Well the reason for this being so isnt that you arent keen on spotting wildlife in the desert.
Many animals in the desert are nocturnal. You can easily guess why Living in the desert is not easy- not for humans, not even for animals. Thus most of the wildlife in Dubai can only be spotted in the dark at night. Even if you do spot some animals in the day light, chances are they do have the capability of withstanding extreme heat. But reptiles like the sand skink and the sand boa are one of those who cant. Even if they move out in the hot sunshine, their swiftness helps them escape heat. They also burrow the sand quickly and remain a few feet beneath the hot surface for protection.
Other animals do what is commonly understood as hibernate only during the summer season. They lay underground or in spaces that are very cool for months together! But on the account of birds, surviving underground isnt part of their skill. Therefore, whenever desert birds find temperatures unbearable, they just migrate. Some desert adapted species of birds are the cream coloured courser, black crowned finch lark, the desert eagle and the little owl. During spring or autumn months a wide variety of birds from Asia flock to the deserts in Dubai.
