My spines

sure are sharp. It

hurts me.

We’re lucky we have spines to protect us

from animals.

I’m lucky I have

leaves under me to keep me

comfy.

when you have

enemies on your

tail.

It’s sweet to have flippers to dig holes in the ground.

ENDANGERED DESERT ANIMALS

• Gila monsters – Gila monsters are

classified as endangered because much of their habitats have been taken over by people.

• Bactrian camel– People take them from

their habitats because they can carry heavy stuff, and they are used as work animals.

• Oryx– They were killed for their

horns and coats. They were almost completely hunted down but they got sent to a safe place.
