Q7 #ParkChat Many of the animals we see in deserts are the same as we see in forests-deer, rabbits and even bears. Yet deserts have unique fauna too. What are some of the unique desert animals you’d like to see or have seen? Yes. We want photos.

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A6) I visited Red Rock Canyon National Conservan Area near Las Vegas, its a unique situation where the scenic drive & visitors center is run by the Association which allows the BLM do what they do best, patrol and protect the whole area. #ParkChat

@Wild_Tribute A6. Love the solitude.
Dislike the lack of visitor services in areas that have been designated primarily for recreation. #ParkChat

A7. We loved seeing kit foxes and jackrabbits in @DeathValleyNPS. And I always hope to run into snakes in the desert, like this bull snake in El Malpais NM. No zoom! #ParkChat

A7. Prickly Pear and Cliffrose...and what would the desert be without Juniper #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A6. LOVE the BLM managed land in California (more than I love the BLM - but that’s a subject for a different day). @59NationalParks is right. Pull off on the dirt roads and make camp! Dispersed camping at its very best. #ParkChat

A7 I don't have a picture, and I wish I knew the name of the species, but in Colorado NM I saw an insect that makes little sand avalanches, I guess to trap their prey - it was far out #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A7 #Parkchat Saw a few jack-rabbits in the SoCal desert but didn’t manage to snap a photo. I’d love to see a kit fox. And of course a jackalope.

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints @JoshuaTreeNPS Def feel you on going in the winter! Can you believe those runners who do summer desert marathons, like the Badwater? I can barely go outside in that kind of heat, but thankfully I've always had great experiences in the winter #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A7. Well there was this incredibly rare Giant Tortoise at Arizona's Sonoran Desert Museum (which is a really great place to visit in its own right if you want to see desert wildlife) #ParkChat

Q8. The entire Colorado Plateau is technically considered the high desert. What places in particular are hard to believe are “Desert” #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A6. I have many questions about BLM lands. I have experience in grazing livestock in the Midwest, but deserts are different. I'd like to spend some time with BLM employees to learn more. #parkchat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 Javelinas are so elusive. I’ve only seen a few. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A8 #ParkChat That Canada has deserts too! We have a “pocket desert” in the southern Okanagan Valley, and the arctic is considered to be a desert.
