The Living Desert
Like A Zoo, Only Better!
When
they named this 1,200-acre interpretive center the Living Desert they
weren't kidding. Mountain lions, wolves, javelina, bobcats, golden eagles,
cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, leopards and much more abound here in a
natural setting nestled at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains reminding
one that the early Indians and pioneers were never alone.
Join
us for a fun and fascinating journey into the deserts of the world and
discover why The Living Desert is truly "like a zoo, only better!"
