Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Discovery Station – Desert Critters

Come by and visit Ranger Kevin to learn about some of the animals native to the Sonoran Desert.  

Have a picture of a critter, but don’t know what it is? Want to know what you might have seen scurrying across the trail? Drop in on this Discovery Station with Ranger Kevin. There will be objects to explore, bones and other biofacts to examine, and perhaps even a critter or two that you can observe up close. We’re always happy to chat and share our knowledge about the amazing animals that make their home here in the desert.
