Chihuahua's Native Plants and Animals

Chihuahua spans open desert, rugged mountains, and forested highlands under wide blue skies. Desert succulents, native shrubs, and seasonal wildflowers cover the lowlands, while the higher elevations support pine and oak forest understory plants. Native pollinators, small mammals, and migratory birds all depend on these varied plant communities. Seasonal rains bring a flush of color to the desert, contrasting with the soft browns of the dry months.
