Originally told in the pages of Desert Magazine by the Souths themselves, the story is now illuminated in a documentary DVD. Enjoy the film preview's great shots of the desert!

Little Petroglyph
Canyon in the Cosos
The Cosos lie within the confines of China Lake Naval Weapons Center
(NWC), the U.S. Navy's largest research and development facility, making it a
little difficult to arrange a visit. Let DesertUSA show you this little-viewed
canyon that contains as many as 100,000 drawings, some thought to be 10,000 years
old.

Bats
& Carlsbad Caverns
The park's most famous cave, Carlsbad Cavern, is over 1,000 feet deep, contains
30 miles of mapped passages and the largest underground chamber in the U.S. View
formations of stalagmites, stalactites, and columns as well as the evening flight
of Mexican free-tailed bats from the entrance of the Cavern.
The
Coyote
The ubiquitous coyote originally ranged primarily in the southwest corner of
the US, but it has adapted readily to the changes caused by human occupation
and, in the past 200 years, has been steadily extending its range.
The
Honeybee
The honeybee begins its life as a pinhead-sized egg, one of 1500 to 2000 laid
by the queen of the hive during the course of a typical late-winter or early-spring
day. It and its siblings each occupy private, adjoining, six-sided cells that,
collectively, serve as the nursery and the honeycomb of the hive.
