Sonoran Desert Museum

Picked up the Puppy and headed back into Tucson

Did the Sonoran Desert Museum

The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a world-renowned zoo, natural history museum and botanical garden all in one!



Paths wind through various desert plants

Cactus Wren on a Saguaro Cactus





Several native animals in their natural surroundings.Bobcat

Harris Hawks in flight



a Javelina (not a pig - a peccary)

Prairie dogs

Mountain Lions



and wolves

We looked for the Coyotes and didn't see any. I gave my best coyote howl and a head popped up briefly. He was hidden in the brush.

Does this jacket make my ears look big?

They even have a realisticcave replica you can walk through



and a Hummingbird Aviary





We spent over 4 hours there and still didn't get to see it all, guess we'll just have to come back!

Till Later,

Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n

Melissa, Gary and Tucson
