About the Course
Holes abound in the desert as animals seek refuge from climatic extremes and predators, or hunt for food. We will shed light on ground holes, elevated holes, divots, and mounds in this field class. In the classroom session, participants will learn how to identify holes and clues that can help discern which animals live in which holes and put their knowledge to the test in the field. Curious visitors and seasoned naturalists will enjoy peeking into the secret lives of these subterranean dwellers and discover who’s behind all of that digging! Students will be able to identify animal burrows and identify the holes of the animal making them.
Students can expect to learn about the animals in the Mojave Desert and the types of burrows they create. Students will also learn about the animals themselves.
