HAS THE SAHARA ALWAYS BEEN A DESERT?
HOW DOES THE KANGAROO RAT SURVIVE ON SALT-COVERED SALTBUSH LEAVES?
Exploring the desert is an unforgettable experience. It's the hottest place on the planet.
Most days there is not a cloud to shade the blazing sun. Within minutes, exposed skin shows signs of sunburn. It's very hard to find water and food is sometimes poisonous. Nevertheless, deserts burst with life.
Slap sunblock, throw a hat on your head and follow the sun-tanned scientists in the quest for rattlesnakes, gray foxes, roadrunners, scorpions, javelinas and other extreme animals of the hottest deserts.
