Its wild creatures include black Bear , Bobcat , Cougar , Coyote , Elk , Gila Monster s, Rabbit s, Rattlesnake s, Porcupine s, and Prairie Dog s, as well as Crane s, golden Eagle , red-tailed Hawk , and Quail . Many of these animals roam freely through the park. Domestic animals include the Navajo churro Sheep . The botanical park is a native "dwarf forest" of Piñon Pine and Juniper (commonly called "cedar") interspersed with grasslands. Four-winged Shadscale is common within the park, as are the non-indigenous Siberia n Elm s. SEE ALSO |
