It is difficult for me to recollect a time when I was not
fascinated with the very notion of a desert. Walt Disney's film,
The Living Desert, which I initially saw when I was 8 years of age,
provided me with my first glimpse of this wondrous yet seemingly ho
stile environment. The images were hypnotic and captivating. I
looked on in amazement at the promenade Cl deux of the male and
female scorpions during courtship. Their rhythmic and coordinated
movements as they grasped one another made them appear to glide in
unis on over the surface of the sand, each individual totally
absorbed with its partner. In the next minute the fern ale had
suddenly and utterly transformed herself like some Jekyll and Hyde
act, into an aggressive predator whose prior gregarious embrace was
now a hold of death for the male. The indomitable desert
grasshopper mouse, the ever sentient kit fox, the graceful
shovel-nosed snake swimming in an endless sea of sand.
