SUMMARY:Trailside Naturalist - Animal Olympics: Bobcats vs Coyotes - Brown's Ranch Trailhead
DESCRIPTION:Trailside Naturalist – Animal Olympics: Bobcats vs Coyotes – Brown’s Ranch Trailhead \nLearn how our medium sized predators\, the bobcat and coyote\, have evolved while coexisting in our Sonoran Desert.  Looking at Bobcat and Coyotes skulls and skins\, we will explain how they each evolved to become the Preserve’s medium size predators in the cat and dog family.  You can take the smell\, sight and hearing test to see which of these animals excel and how they accomplish this. We will reinforce why feeding wild animals leads to many problems for the animal and the human. \n*Trailside Naturalist is a family-friendly educational offering on many Saturday mornings.  The presentations feature hands-on materials and specimens and cover a variety of topics about the flora and fauna of the Preserve.  The informal setting allows visitors to ask questions and learn interesting information about the amazing biodiversity of the Sonoran Desert.  Stop by anytime
