  2. Biome I’ve chosen for the elf owl is the desert biome. The rain fall is fewer 25 centimeter each year usually. A desert biome experiences extreme temperature, so it’s inhabitants must adapt. Semi arid The climate ranges form 32 degrees at night to 134 in the shade.it has rainy seasons in summer and winter it is one of the wettest desserts in north America with 3-16 in. of rain fall a year. • The biome the elf owl lives in is a desert biome. Mainly the desert has burning hot climates and freezing nights.

  3. Sonoran desert The ecosystem within the biome is the Sonoran Desert. The size of it is massive,100,100 square miles. It is located in the south halt of Arizona, south east California, the gulf Californian islands, the Baja California in México, as well as the northern half of Mexico. About 60 mammals,350 birds,20 amphibians,over 100 reptiles,30 native fish,1000 native bees and over 2000 native plants. All the water there is usually under grond, in plants or run off from mountain water.

Height 5 in. , wing span 9 in., weight 1-1.5oz • Habitat: Sonoran desert, desert biomes, regions with water an cactuses to spare. Elf owl live in saguaro cactuses where wood peckers or moths left decaying holes. • Adaptations: elf owl can see perfectly in the dark ,yet strangely not well in low light . And the have silent flight good for hunting. • Food: they are carnivores, elf owls mainly eat invertebrates, moths, crickets, scorpions, centipede, and beetles. • Predators: these animals are eaten by coyotes, bobcats and ringtails. • Protection: since the live in cacti predator have a harder time getting to them.
