Desserts and Destinations: Baja California

Description

Share a taste of the culture, landscapes, wildlife, and of course, the desserts from Doug Lowry's recent travels. Enjoy tagging along on these exotic getaways from the comfort of our program room.

Learn about the amazing adaptations of the flora and fauna of Baja California Sur. Join our exploration of the unique properties of the plants and animals that thrive in the southern extension of the Sonoran Desert. From kangaroo mice that stand on hind legs and howl like wolves to wasps that lay their eggs in living tarantulas, Baja is home to fascinating survival adaptations. Extreme temperature fluctuations, intermittent rain and an interface with the sea makes for some complicated obstacles that are cracked by these problem solvers.
