Desert Animal Adaptations

Kindergarten- 5th Grade Virtual Education

Have you ever wondered how animals like the desert tortoise, fennec fox, and burrowing owl survive the extremes of a desert environment? In this Virtual Field Trip, we will show some examples of how desert plants and animals use certain adaptations to help them survive and thrive in an otherwise harsh environment.

Keystone Species

5th - 8th Grade Virtual Education

Every ecosystem is full of plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria that make up an intricate food-web. Some of these species have a larger influence on the health of an ecosystem than others. We call these species "keystone species". Learn more about keystone species like the Mexican wolf, the desert fan palm, and the desert tortoise.
