Just a note about these little desert creatures that are found all over Arizona and Southern California. Watch out for them. They’re small, fast, and noisy. They often travel in packs like this one but you also see loners from time to time. Oddly, they all have only one antennae. Their tracks are often seen and are very recognizable. As a defense mechanism, they constantly emit large plumes of dust (this can cause choking or general distress especially if you’ve just finished washing your hair). I do sometimes get tired of their noise and dust but, secretly, I think I’d actually like to join them.
