What about camels? Hair is protective against abrassion from sandstorms,
from the extreme cold experienced at night or during the winter (though
Tattooine, being a predominantly desert ecology, probably doesn’t have much
in the way of cold winters, except maybe at those polar caps), and, in
certain situations, probably from the baking intensity of the sun (notice how
many residents of the Middle East still wear full-length robes with some form
of head-cloth to protect themselves from the sun).

Camel hair is not as long and is more reflective than the dark hair of the
Banthas.

The arid climate isn’t the problem so much as the extreme temperature. Polar
regions are also very arid, because the air is so cold it can’t sustain much
in the way of humidity (that’s why your lips get chapped in the winter).
|
True - if the Banthas lived in a wooly mamoth habitat, it would be more tundra
like than polar like. But I suppose the tundra can be arid to. I guess I was
mostly dealing with the temperature aspect.
