Ever wonder what animals and plants can survive in the desert's harsh conditions? If you're passing through Palm Springs, you'll want to stop to check out The Living Desert Zoo & Botanical Garden. They have lots of educational programs available and also unique desert plants for purchase.

"Avoiding heat, dissipating heat, retaining water, and acquiring water are the most crucial. Desert animals have evolved mechanisms to solve the heat and water problems the desert environment creates, and there are as many or more adaptations as there are desert dwelling species."
