The camel, for example, can __51__an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9C. In addition, it can drink an enormous __52__ water at one time, then store sufficient water in its red blood cells and other parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, __53__ all the water it needs from water that it produces during respiration. However, most animals need to __54__a fairly constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more then 5C. __55__, they need to find some way to avoid the strong sunrays.

Many go underground; nearly all find somewhere shady where they can avoid the sunrays.
For many kinds of insects, living in the desert is __63__ than for animals. Like many desert plants, they have a waterproof skin which __ 64__ water loss by evaporation. In addition, some insects spend all or most of their life below ground. Here, for most of the year at least, there is __65__ wetness, and it is generally cooler than on the surface.
