A burro crossing the road in Beatty, Nevada. A small town just outside Death Valley National Park.
Burros are a type of donkey that are known for being strong, intelligent, and social animals that can live in harsh environments. They have long ears, a stocky build, and are often gray or brown. Burros are also very social, forming strong bonds with other donkeys and can be very protective of their herd.

Saguaro cacti are the largest cactus in the United States, living for up to 200 years and growing slowly. They can store large amounts of water, have sharp spines for protection, and many animals use them for food and shelter. When they get old, they can grow large arms and produce flowers and fruit.
Wild Horses at Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
The Park is home to a free-roaming herd of horses that are a symbol of the region's ranching history, representing descendants of ranch stock. These horses can be seen grazing throughout the park, often in small bands, and are visible from high points like the Painted Canyon Overlook or along the park boundary from Interstate 94.
