Morning Starters: Spring 2 - Desert Life
Did You Know?
Have you ever pricked your finger on a thorny plant? In the desert, cacti grow spines instead of leaves, which protect them from animals and help reduce water loss. But some creatures aren’t put off. The Harris’s antelope squirrel bravely scrambles over the painful spines of the cholla cactus to reach its juicy fruit. This daring behaviour shows just how determined desert animals can be to find food.
