Journey through Africa, America, and Australia and witness the amazing survival techniques of camels, kangaroos, snakes, scorpions, and other animals in hot deserts. Compare them to the guanacos, flamingos, and even penguins of the coastal and cold deserts such as the Atacama, Namib, Gobi, and Patagonia. We also tackle the tricky question of Antarctica - is this the biggest desert in the world? We pop in on the people of the desert: where and how do Bedouins, Tuaregs, Aborigines, and Rajasthanis live? What are their homes like, their clothes, their food? How is it different for the Mongolians.
