I borrowed a Junior Ranger pack for exploring the National Park. I used a hand lens, binocular, and a high desert field guide. The field guide is another word for a book. And the book showed me that there are owls that burrow under the ground! And tarantulas that also build a burrow too. And kangaroo rats don’t drink water because they get their water from their food and they don’t pee liquid, they pee crystals!!!! I thought this was very different!!! I learned all of that new today.
I saw lizards and bugs that were camouflaged- the same color as the rocks and dirt.
We hiked in the desert. It’s called the high desert and it is hot! I wore sunscreen and a hat. We were very high up.
Another thing I saw today were a bunch of cows running across the road together. Also our car ran over some tumbleweed.
