Coyote The lone coyote howling at the moon is a symbol of the American West. In reality, coyotes are not solitary animals. They mate for life and sometimes hunt in packs, mostly at night. The coyote's name sounds Spanish, but it actually traces to the ancient Aztec Indian word coyotl. The coyotes use at least 10 different sounds to communicate, including barks, yips, growls, and howls.

Scorpions Scorpions are venomous arthropods of the class Arachnida and are considered relatives of the spiders, mites, ticks and harvestmen. There are approximately 1,300 species of scorpions worldwide, characterized by an elongated body and a segmented tail that is tipped with a venomous stinger.

As arachnids, scorpions have mouthparts called chelicerae, a pair of pedipalps, and four pairs of legs. The pincerlike pedipalps are used primarily for prey capture and defense, but are also covered with various types of sensory hairs. The body is divided into two main regions, a cephalothorax and an abdomen. The cephalothorax is covered above by a carapace (or head shield) that usually bears a pair of median eyes and 2 to 5 pairs of lateral eyes at its front corners (a few cave and litter-dwelling scorpions are eyeless).

The abdomen consists of 12 distinct segments, with the last five forming what most people refer to as the "tail". At the end of the abdomen is the telson, which bears a bulb-shaped structure containing the venom glands and a sharp, curved aculeus to deliver the venom.

Desert Bighorn Sheep The Desert Bighorn live in dry, desert mountain ranges, foothills near rocky cliffs and permanent water when seasonally available -- an environment that is almost waterless and relatively barren of vegetation.

Birds of Prey - a collection of original realistic plush beanbag birds with authentic sounds. These beanbag marvels are a perfect replica of the original species in the way they look and sound. Each bird's lifelike design and detailing is the result of input from Audubon. In addition, the authentic sound in each bird has been provided by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and represents hours, months and even years of extensive fieldwork conducted by expert recordists.
