Big Bend National Park – Creatures

We didn’t see the bears or mountain lions that are in the park. We saw lots of birds that we can’t identify (though a fellow camper told us one was a vermillion flycatcher). We did see a javalina but no picture.

There were lots of road runners.

This beetle has adapted to hot deserts by elevating his body above the ground. John thought he looked like the VW bug we saw earlier 


I was surprised by how many tarantulas there were. John kept seeing them on the road and stopped to let me take this picture. Remember the size of the center lines on a road as you look at this picture.
