Arizona's Sonoran Desert Information
Sonoran Desert Info
- Why is it called a "lush" desert? The Sonoran Desert is considered lush compared to other deserts due to its unique biseasonal rainfall pattern (winter rains and a summer monsoon). It is considered the wettest desert in the world! This precipitation supports a rich diversity of plants, including around 2,000 species, notably the iconic large columnar saguaro cacti and legume (Bean) trees.
- What is the climate like? It has a subtropical climate, receiving between 3 to 15 inches of rain per year. Winters are generally mild with rare frosts, while summers can see temperatures exceeding 120°F (49°C) in the driest areas.
- What unique wildlife and plants are found there? The desert is home to a wide range of life, including diverse cacti like the saguaro, barrel, and prickly pear, as well as animals such as coyotes, road runners, bobcats, mountain lions, deer, porcupine, javelina, desert tortoise, rattlesnakes (6 subspecies in the desert areas, 13 total in the state), gila monster (one of only two venomous lizards in the world) scorpions, tarantulas and numerous bird species.
- How do animals survive the heat? Many animals are most active during the cooler nights (nocturnal) or during dawn and dusk (crepuscular). Others have adapted behaviors or physical features, such as the ability to store water or dissipate heat efficiently.
