  the desert

The desert was founded in 1994 and is an imitation of a desert in Arizona , North America. Ittries to give an idea how life is in the sonora desert.

This desert as you might think doesn't only contain sand , but has mainly rocks in it.

The animals found here are highly adjusted to the large temperature differences and often active during nighttime.

In this 7500 square meters ecosystem you will find red lynx , different species of birds , snakes , sheep (ovis canadensis california)...

You can also spot fossils...

Also the rule here is , keep quit and look attentively..
In a corner you can also sit for a drink and some rest.

Me , what I like the most are the free flying birds (caracara - polyborus plancus) , and many large cactuses in a natural setting.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
