Wildlife in Phoenix, Arizona?

Question

I am writing a story and having some problems with something.

Can anyone tell me what kind of large predatory animals live in Phoenix, AZ and it's surrounding areas?

Answer 1

hmmm...mountain lions, there are a lot of them

there are Ocelots..that are likea leopard-mountain lion-panther cat thing

there are lots of coyotes and california condors, also

ther are also Collared Peccarys and javelinas that are both pig-hog things

gila monsters and diamondback rattlesnakes are dangerous, but not something i'd classify as "predatory"

hope that helped :)

Answer 2

Main predators would be coyotes, with the big cats less numerous but more dangerous. Diamond back rattlers are definitely predators, They are also dangerous enough to make it worth  while  to get inoculated with their  serum if you will be going into rough areas.

There are some bats, and of course Gila Monsters.

Answer 3

coyotes,  

Answer 4

none to hot there... they all left for cooler climate..

Answer 5

Mountain Lions and coyotes.
