It's understandable if you get thirsty watching this episode. All the creatures in the desert, it seems, spend most or all spend their time looking for water, to survive. When water does arrive, in the form of a shower, or a flash flood from miles away, the animals and birds get busy and drink as much of it as they can. Some places rarely see moisture.
There are some incredible things, though, in deserts around the world. In one place, fog provides the only moisture, and that's for about one hour before the sun bakes it off. However, it is noted by narrator David Attenborough, that "it is not the heat or lack of water which kills most life in the desert: it is lack of food."
Some of the best sights, for those of viewing this series on DVD, include fantastic aerial shots of long sand dunes. The smoothness and shapes, I think, are some of the prettiest sights on this planet.
