Cinnamon Teal
From Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge:
Some dabbling ducks, like the cinnamon teal, will follow one another to take advantage of the food which gets stirred up by the leader.
On the refuge, look for cinnamon teal in the flooded fields - they've most recently been spotted on the east side of the north loop. Learn more:https://www.audubon.org/

Inspiration for the Lorax
From the U.S. Department of the Interior:
These spiky, twisted Joshua trees look like they’re straight out of a Dr. Seuss book -- the iconic desert plant is rumored to have inspired his famous book The Lorax. One of the best places to see these unbelievable trees in real life is Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California. If you visit this spring, keep an eye out for clusters of white-green flowers growing at the tips of their branches.

American Alligator
From the U.S. Department of the Interior:
One of the most noticeable animals at Big Cypress National Preserve in Florida is the American alligator.

Growing up to 15 feet long, it’s a sight most visitors won’t forget after exploring this amazing 729,000-acre freshwater swamp.
