C The Sahara Desert is unsurprisingly seen as a wasteland.But actually there is a variety of life forms, according to Andre Vicente Liz,a doctoral candidate at the University of Porto in Portugal,who led a study exploring Saharan animal species. In the desert,cold-blooded creatures grow well because their body temperatures adjust to the temperature of their surroundings as they move from intense sunlight into cool underground holes.Liz has observed many small lizard (species along with snakes,beetles,ants,and even frogs.Besides them, antelopes,camels,cheetahs and desert foxes are just some of the warm-blooded animals that can survive in the Sahara.But what leads to the vast biodiversity of the Sahara One factor is the big changes in the desert's climate.About 6,000 years ago,there was abundant rainfall in certain areas of the Sahara.Grasslands and lakes made ideal living places for animals and humans.Due to climate changes,the grasslands changed to a desert later,which made it impossible for humans to exist there.However,many animals still survived there. Another one is its diverse landscapes.There are some areas,such as rock pools known as"gueltas", where biodiversity is especially high because they act as shelter for species that have to flee from their habitats due to a sudden,intolerable change in weather.In the face of climate change,Liz and his colleagues are studying"gueltas"closely to find out what makes them good spots for survival.These areas are known as gathering places for biodiversity and are especially interesting for conservation planning in the current context of climate emergency,where they can play a key role in supporting various species,,”Liz said. Deserts may seem lifeless,but in fact many species have developed special ways tosurvive in the tough environments. 28.What did Liz find about the Sahara Desert A.It is home to diverse creatures.
