Different mountain ranges have their own distinct flora and fauna that might or might not be evident to the passerby. When it comes to the desert mountain ranges there are unique creatures that inhabit these lands that have adapted to the extreme temperatures that are found on these lands.

Firstly, these mountain ranges are home to creatures that are adept at conserving their energy by shifting their hunting or scavenging tactics. As an example, in the hot deserts, most of these creatures leave the food hunting to the evening hours when the temperatures are much cooler.

On the other hand, there is the flora that also has ingenious methods of conserving energy and any water they may have accumulated. As an example, there are plants that conserve water by having a thick wax coating that does not allow any water to evaporate.

Additionally, there are other plants that prefer to acquire their nutrients, including water, from insects. These plants are rather fascinating because they have the capacity to attract the insects they feed on, using sight and scent, and then trap them in one way or the other.

In short, desert mountain range flora and fauna is as diverse as any other on the planet with the only difference being their exceptional capacity to hold on to the little nutrients they have managed to find.
