The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it __42__. However, most animals need to maintain a __43__ constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5℃. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a __44__summer’s day, most of them are __45__only in the night. The desert comes fully to life only after the sun has __46__. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides__47__, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds.

When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; __49__ all find some dark and cool places where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.
