Plants and animals in the Sonoran Desert food chains have had to adapt to the hot, dry climate of this habitat. Conserving water is a large part of these food-chain adaptations. Learn about the spectacular Saguaro cacti and the many herbivores and carnivores that are part of the food chains of this desert. Children will learn about:
• how plants make food
• how desert plants and animals adapt to drought and heat
• desert hunters and scavengers
• dangers to Sonoran Desert food chains and webs
• how to help save desert plants and animals
