Angler Fish Deep sea anglers have lures that glow
in the dark. They use these lures to attract other fish. They are masters of disguise as they bury themselves in sand and hide among the rocks. Back to fish

Anarctic Desert Believe it or not, the average rain fall in the Antarctic is less than 2 inches annually. This desert doesn’t experience a lot of evaporation, so all of the snow that falls stays for hundreds of years! It is the coldest and windiest desert, but some plants like algae will grow there! Back

Sonoran Located in southwestern Arizona
and southwestern California, this Desert is over 120,00 square miles. It is the hottest desert in North America! In the western part of the desert, seasonal storms allow for flowering plants. It’s a phenomenon that is not limited to this desert, but occurs in other deserts as well! Back
