Touching cacti is “for the birds!” 🐤🌵 Cactus Wrens have tough feet that allow them to walk on cacti. If you are barbed, cacti are not poisonous, but you should avoid removing spines with bare hands. Instead use duct tape, tweezers, or a hair comb. Media by NPS / Kā’eo Luke
Did you know many birds of prey have a built-in sun visor? A hawk’s supraorbital ridge, or “eyebrow”, shades their eyes while they fly with the sun overhead. This is what gives these birds their “angry” expression! Media by NPS / Kā’eo Luke (Red-tailed Hawk)
Dance into the weekend with the Greater Roadrunner! 🪩🎶 Have you ever seen a Roadrunner shaking its tail? It may look like they’re bobbing to the beat, but these up and down or side-to-side movements are forms of communication! Media 1 by NPS / Kā’eo Luke
Happy World Lizard Day! 🦎😍 Did you know Joshua Tree is home to 19 lizard species? We’ve got lizards of all shapes and sizes all over the park. Wherever you are, you're probably not far from a lizard! Pictured: Chuckwalla, Desert Horned Lizard, Desert Spiny Lizard. NPS Photos.
July and August are the hottest months of the year to visit. Stay safe! 💧 Bring water with you! 📷 Let someone know when you plan to return. 🚗 Consider an auto tour instead! Download the NPS app for offline use for a self-guided tour. Media by NPS / Kā’eo Luke
It’s International Snake Day! 🐍♥ Did you know that there are 26 different types of snakes documented at Joshua Tree National Park? If you see one of our slithering residents, please show them respect by observing from afar. Media by NPS / Kā’eo Luke
It’s a star-spangled night sky for the Fourth of July! Our sky is bedazzled every night with constellations, the moon, and depending on the season, the Milky Way. Remember, fireworks and the desert are NOT a good match. Fireworks, sparklers, and similar items are not permitted.
