People who haven’t been to deserts sometimes think they’re devoid of life. Not hardly. Click the above photo to view full-size. And to see the abundance of plant life.
The following full-sized photos were also taken at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum near Tucson AZ in the Sonora Desert. Animals were in their outdoor areas, safe from humans, and all are native to the area.
Coyote
Snoozing ocelot
Mountain lion
Extremely well-fed prairie dogs!
It’s a lovely “museum.” I visited when by brother was living in Tucson.
