The Critters at MCC Red Mountain

Today is Endangered Species Day and I wanted to highlight the endangered native species we have here at Red Mountain. According to U.S Fish & Wildlife Service the Desert Pupfish, Gila Topminnow, and Sonoran Desert Tortoise are all considered endangered. Each representative of these species here on campus are contributing to the conservation efforts either directly through breeding and release, or as an educational ambassador. Check out each photos caption for more info about the animals.

It's that time again! If you need a breather between studying come say hi to a reptile (or two) in the Red Mountain Library!

It's officially Spring in the Saguaro building! We've got critters zooming around again!

With the weather warming up the critters are out in the Cienega! Stop by to see who you can find!

We get all sorts of wildlife here at Red Mountain campus! This is a roadrunner who we've named Strider!

Goblin is so excited to see students again! Welcome back Thunderbirds, hope you have a great semester!

One of our most elusive critters made a brief appearance this morning! Our Eastern Collard Lizard is super shy and often hides under his rock, but if your lucky (and you don't move too fast) you may be able to catch a glimpse of his beautiful patterns and colors!

Charlie is looking forward to all the students he's going to see this week in the library!
