DESERT REPTILES
Desert Reptiles. Reptiles in the Mojave Desert are a group of vertabrates represented by two different orders; Squamata - Lizards and Snakes. Testudines - Turtles. Reptiles are cold-blooded and don't have a constant body temperature. They are only able to a limited extent to actively regulate their body temperature, which is largelydependent
FLASH FLOODS
Flash floods are short-term events, occurring within 6 hours of the causative event (heavy rain, dam break, levee failure, rapid, snowmelt and ice jams) and often within 2 hours of the start of high intensity rainfall. A flash flood is characterized by a rapid stream rise with depths of water that can reach well above the banks of the creek. BLACK MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS Black Mountain, Mojave Desert Wilderness.

Elevations range from 2,080 to 3,941 PLANTS AT HOOVER DAM/LAKE MEAD Plants of the Area. Perhaps the most recognized cactus in Las Vegas is the barrel cactus. It is not hollow, as many believe, but has a spongy pulp inside. When growing, most barrel cactus lean to the South. It is also known as the bisnaga, red barrel, fire barrel, solitary barrel and compass barrel cactus. This cactus has flat, greenish jointed PREDATORS - DESERT WILDLIFE Predators. Predation is an interaction between animals in which one captures and feeds upon another called the prey. The predator is usually the larger and stronger of the two. Predators are always either carnivores or omnivores. The prey might typically be a herbivore, but some predators feed on anything they can capture,including other
HERBIVORES - DESERT WILDLIFE An herbivore is an animal that eats only plants and no meat. However, many herbivores will eat eggs and occasionally other animal protein. This group also includes granivores (animals that eat mainly seeds) and folivores (animals that eat mainly foliage).
