One thing all deserts have in common is that they are arid, or dry. Animals survive in deserts by living underground or resting in burrows during the heat of the day. Some creatures get the moisture they need from their food, so they don't need to drink much water, if any. Others live along the edges of deserts, where there are more plants and shelter. Which of the following is adapted to desert condition?

1. Camels

2. Horned lizard

Explanation:

All of the above are adapted to desert condition.

Xerocoles are animals that are adapted to desert life.
Fossorial animals are those adapted to digging and life underground,
while arboreal are those adapted to life on the trees and terretrial animals are adapted to life on land.
gerbils, beetles, snakes, mongooses and camels. These animals survive the harsh conditions in their own way. Some live in burrows (holes). Camels have winter coats to keep warm and shorter, tidier coats to keep cool in summer.
Addax adaptations for this desert environment include a white-coloured coat which reflects heat and helps them incorporate into the desert landscape. They have a short stumpy muzzle, which enables them to graze on rough desert grasses, acacias, and plants like tubers.
Camels can survive in extreme desert conditions because of their well-known adaptations to their desert lifestyle. Camels have long necks and humps on their back. They have long eyelashes, and elongated nostrils protect them from blowing dust and sand
The Onagers are herbivores, Asiatic wild horses who survive on the desert’s scarce plant life. They eat foods, including grasses, bushes, herbs, and foliage.
