Peaople tend to think that because it's desert, it's lifeless, however, the desert is filled with life. You are surrounded by living, breathing things, whether it be plants, insects, or animals. There are several different types of plantlife: cacti, shrubs, trees; wildlife: rabbits, coyotes, foxes, mountain lions, wild burros, snakes, tarantulas, scorpions; and insects: bees, butterflies and beetles. The desert holds nothing but life.
