The mission of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is to inspire people to live in harmony with the
natural world by fostering love, appreciation, and understanding of the Sonoran Desert.
This world-famous museum is rather a zoo displaying the creatures of the surrounding desert in their natural habitats.

I see Coyotes in the wild frequently where I live and work. This is the first time I have seen
one at the Desert Museum and he was sure enjoying the sun. There was a pair of them in a large
area that, at first, did not even appear to be contained. I was very excited to see one so up
close and so relaxed.
