A desert habitat tour [|desert tour] When someone says "desert", most of us conjure up images of camels or cactus, dried and bleached animal bones, or perhaps a person dragging along the desert floor, hoping and praying for the oasis in their mirage to be real. Whatever the vision, it almost always includes sand and heat. Lots of scorching heat. You might be surprised then to learn that it snows in some deserts, and desert animals actually include dolphins.
