    PPT by: Ansh, Narayan, Jayesh, Parth, Sai, Ronak
    What are Shrubs?
     Shrubs refer to low-height plants with several branches. This type of
    vegetation is found in dry and arid regions, especially in deserts.
     Deserts are characterized by scanty rainfall. Thus, these are highly
    dry and barren regions.
     These regions mainly comprise stunted and thorny shrubs as
    vegetation.
     Desert vegetation can be classified into: tropical desert vegetation
    and temperate desert vegetation
    Did You Know?
    Many Shrubs provide essential habitats for wildlife, offering food
    and shelter for birds, insects and small mammals

    Wildlife in deserts
     Deserts with extreme aridity are inhabited by unique desert-adapted
    wildlife. This includes animals like camels, kangaroo rats, scorpions,
    rattlesnakes, and certain bird species that have evolved specific
    adaptations to get accustomed with high temperatures and scarce
    water availability

    Fact Corner

    Many desert animals have evolved remarkable


    ways to minimise water loss. For instance, the
    kangaroo rat can survive without ever drinking
    water, obtaining all the moisture it needs from
    its food.ants find their way during an early
