Arizona is a diverse state with many different animals. The fact sheets below are just one attempt attempt to provide a little information about some of those animals.

Wildlife Field Notes originally appear in each issue of the Arizona Wildlife Views magazine. Each article since the January 2007 issue is included here as a classroom resource. A new animal will be added every couple months. In addition, we will periodically scan older issues and make them available.

The downloads below are arranged by animal group. They are all PDFs under 3mb.
