There are a variety of animals in the desert. Some eat plants, some are carnivores. Plant eaters form the base if any food chain. If there are no animals at the bottom of the food chain that eat plants, life could not be sustained in the desert. Such animals as insects, rats, mice, rabbits, hares, antelope, deer, some lizards, etc. are plant eaters and provide prey for carnivores.

It depends on the species. You can't say that an white-tailed deer and a coyote eat the same thing because one is an herbivore and the other is a carnivore. They either eat the plants available or they eat each other. (The white-tailed deer isn't going to eat the coyote, just as a reminder)
