Semi-arid desert biome

The semi-arid biome is characterized by having less high temperatures and a more versatile plant life. The temperatures do not go past 38 degrees Celsius (unlike dry deserts), and at night they rarely go below 10 degrees Celsius.

Unfortunately, rain does not often fall in these places (except for light rainfall during winter), and the soil is mostly shallow and sandy and thus offers less support for the plants. This is why most of the plants are not easy to approach by animals as they taste bad, have an intense odor, or have spiked to protect themselves. Most of the animals in the semi-arid biome are active in daytime as well as nighttime, animals such as birds, various insects, and reptiles who often search protection in underground burrows.
