A tour of the Mojave Desert from the Perspective of a Herpetologist
Please join us May 7, 2018 at 7 pm as we tour the Mojave Desert with Dr. Joshua Parker from Fresno City College.
The Mojave Desert is the driest and hottest desert in North America. As such, virtually
all of the organisms that inhabit it have had to adapt to one of the most hostile
climates on the planet. Most people tend to think of deserts as being wastelands devoid
of life. Quite the contrary...most deserts are teaming with life! Although it is a
desert, its habitats are quite varied ranging from lava beds, sand dunes, and rugged
canyon systems, to lush riparian warm springs and parched scrublands. Each species
has uniquely adapted to their own niche among the variety of habitats. We will take
a visual tour of these habitats and species of reptiles and amphibians through the
lens of my camera. There are roughly 65 species of reptiles and amphibians that have
made the Mojave Desert their home. This tour of the Mojave is based loosely on D.
Parker's book "Reptiles and
Amphibians of the Mojave Desert: A Field Guide."
