What is the least common animal in the desert?
Amphibians are found in the desert but are usually only seen after a heavy summer rain. They spend most of the year underground. At that time they can be quite numerous in certain areas. Another animal that is often the symbol of the desert, at least in the United States, would be a rattlesnake. While they do inhabit the desert, they remain hidden most of the time. One can spend years hiking in the desert and never encounter a rattlesnake. They see you but you rarely see them.
