How do desert lizards get water?

Desert lizards obtain water through several methods, primarily by metabolizing the moisture found in their food, such as insects and plants. They also have adaptations to minimize water loss, such as waterproof skin and behavioral strategies like burrowing to escape heat and reduce evaporation. Some species can absorb water through their skin or drink from dew that forms on surfaces during cooler nights. Additionally, certain lizards can survive long periods without drinking by relying on stored body water.
