Tall perennial grasses and herds of grazing herbivores are inhabitants the desert biome?

Tall perennial grasses and herds of grazing herbivores are not inhabitants of the desert biome. Deserts are characterized by extreme temperatures, limited precipitation, and a scarcity of water. The vegetation in deserts is typically composed of drought-tolerant plants such as cacti, succulents, and shrubs, rather than tall grasses. Herbivores that can survive in deserts have adapted to the harsh conditions, such as by having a low water requirement or by being able to store water efficiently.
