Saguaro National Park’s Teachers Guide is a guide to the natural and cultural resources of Saguaro National Park. This guide provides valuable information on the park and incorporates an outstanding variety of pre-visit and post-visit activities for teachers and students in 4th grade, but can be modified for other grades as well. We hope these materials will provide you and your students with a depth of information and activity options that will greatly enhance their understanding and enjoyment of the Sonoran Desert and its peoples.

Javelina  

Did You Know?
Javelinas are able to eat spiny prickly pear pads with no obvious harm to their mouths, stomachs or intestinal tracts. Javelinas are not true pigs, they are peccaries, which are native to the Americas.
