Introduction to Arizona's Sky Islands

[@88pjtink]

geez. we knew there was something so special about this area (we live in s az). but, we had no idea just how special!!!

[@neutronstargalaxy1092]

Only the western edge of the Sky Island region is in the Sonoran Desert. The majority of the sky Island region is actually in the Chihuahuan Desert or at least more Chihuahuan Desert like semi desert grass lands depending on what climate map your looking at.

[@patrickshea5955]

Yes but it's more extraordinary in Southern Arizona. Where it goes from hot desert to dry forest

[@fedexmatthew8921]

Chihuahuan desert is the sierra madres

Thanks, appealing video and good info. Watching this in 2022 with poignancy and alarm over the great reduction in rain.

[@heleneconte330]

Monsoon was AMAZING in 2022!

[@tucsonemergencyresponse]

Been to sky school up there before, I loved it so much, I had a wonderful time!

[@jakeniemiec8559]

Went up there today! Saw a deer in the semi desert grasslands and a tarantula and red white black striped snake in the pine forest

Thank you . I live in Arizona 💘 this place fascinates me, even though i come from the sea place and I love sea, ocean... And I miss my sea and the smell 😀😔 but Arizona is Unique . Thank you again for the info . ☝ 👍💘

The Mountains actually inhibit most of the rain from reaching here, especially the mountains in Northern Mexico, if it werent for the mountains, Southern Arizona would likely still be marshlands.

I would love to live in the middle of the sky island.

[@robertcalamusso4218]

[@nicolaspitts3559]

Anyone know where I can get access to the 3D map of tucson they used to see the mountains that surround tucson

[@bellicose2037]

Google earth

[@kyleredfearn96]

The Great Basin of Utah and Nevada has the same geology, but not the same biodiversity. Why?

[@cacatr4495]

" Evolved" >> Adapted.

[@TommyLSchmitt]

Ideas? TOMMYLSCHMITT us army/GOV ret

[@margaretlouiseable]

I love it there! I hope the people flooding our border aren't messing up EVERYTHING!

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Arizona has more rattlesnakes per square mile than any other place in the country. Be careful!

[@WheelgunDan]

Always got to sneak in at least a tiny little bit of left wing propaganda into everything you do, don't you? Great video otherwise.

[@tysonadams6744]

its a hard left wing scientific theory, that most of the right doesnt support holmes..

[@shelleyottenbrite6616]

@@tysonadams6744 you misunderstand the word "theory" -- that means there's a s* ton of evidence supporting the fact. It's not up to politics -- it's hard science that nearly 100% of climate scientists understand, agree on and continue to build on in greater and greater levels of depth and understanding.

[@neutronstargalaxy1092]

I was thinking the same thing as I watched the video. There is another video about the Edwards plateau/Texas Hill country video on KZbin I watched not to long ago that was just as bad or worse.

[@taquitoxiq1444]

you look like the fucking prospector from toy story lmao

[@WheelgunDan]

@@taquitoxiq1444 Really? Now I have to go watch that movie.

[@anthonylemkendorf3114]

Great video until the GL BS..

[@BryanKirch]

Never miss a chance for climate change propaganda

[@dontbother4737]

What are the some of altitudes of those sky islands?
