Arizona's Sonoran Desert is an amazing place filled with rugged plants and weird critters of many kinds. It is a place of legends, myths, and many tales. But the facts are often wackier than the fiction. What's so special about  a rattlesnake's tongue? Why do scorpions glow in the dark? What the heck is a javelina? How much can a Gila Monster eat in one meal? How fast does a hummingbird flap its wings? National award-winning author and science writer Conrad J. Storad knows the answers to these questions and much, much more. Join him and his muppet friends for a science story telling session you won't soon forget.
