Hear the words “Death Valley” and an image of an uninhabited landscape often comes to mind. Below-sea-level basins are ravaged by drought and heat, receiving less than two inches of rain per year. Temperatures soar above 100 degrees. While these conditions may seem harsh to humans, Death Valley is home to a great diversity of wildlife. Hard-learned, clever adaptations enable desert animals to thrive in this unlikely place.
