Here is a sampling of some of the critters I see around Arizona. These were taken around my office, apartment, the Desert Botanical Gardens, and on a recent trip to Mt. Lemmon in Arizona.

As always I love your photos. I like the rabbit picture the most, it reminds me of dinner. I never ate a rabbit before but would love to eat one. I hear they taste really good.

I lived in the southwest and saw many reptiles. These are excellent photos. I remember my first year I saw two Scorpions.

Those are some neat shots, I love animals and being out in nature in general.

I was working at my desk yesterday and the dog started barking, so I looked outside and there was a beaver walking down the road. It was pretty neat. I see a lot of deer where I live as well.

It is good to see that you still have a nice diversity of wild animal life in Arizona. Where I live it is pretty devoid of wildlife due to too many livestock farms :(

Those sand squirrels look sweet. They are like mini-meerkats.

I thought the little lizards we had here in Florida were pretty cool when I first moved here, that lizard in the third picture would easily swallow the largest lizard here. Great pictures Kristi, as always thank you for sharing.

Arizona is very rich in wild life. Its a well known name every body can recognised when they heard Arizona it means wildlife. All shots are very good excellent work.

Oh, what is that among the rocks? Such a lovely gesture! Is it looking for its mother? You have taken so many beautiful, natural pictures!

Kristi, just as a matter of interest, are you the sort of girl who feels squeamish about frogs and lizards and such. Just interested because I’m wondering how close you get to some of your subjects or if you use a telephoto lens. ;)

I am from the northwest where not too many animals are capable of killing anything. My puppy like to nose around and act a fool, putting every thing in his mouth. I was wondering if it is common in the Southwest, where there are lots of venomous critters, for puppies to die because of them.
