Animal Adaptations: Desert Survival

How do animals survive in a place that is hot, dry, and full of challenges? Explore how desert animals stay cool, find food and water, and protect themselves from predators. Through stories, movement, discussion, and a hands-on activity, children will discover how adaptations help animals survive and then create their own desert animal with special traits to help it thrive. Join Adalgisa Nico, one of the authors of Bringing National Parks to Life, a children’s book series, who will read from one of the titles.
