You know you"re in the Sonoran Desert, Arizona, in the US, when the sun gives you a warm "welcome"! This arid land is home to various animals such as roadrunners, Gila monsters and the Morafka"s tortoise. The Sonoran Desert experiences two rainy seasons, which leads to the blossoming of colourful wildflowers such as the brittlebush, seen in today"s image. These hardy shrubs seen here are adapted to the dry climate, with their silvery-grey leaves covered in fine hairs that help reduce water loss through transpiration.
