In Queen Creek and Santan Valley, add bobcats to the list. There are raccoons about, but not nearly as many as you will find in non-desert areas. I think they are probbaly more likely to be in urban areas than in the more rural areas of the valley.
I agree, do add bobcats to the list. We have had them in my neighborhood in midtown Tucson, and the researchers here say they are throughout the cities and outlying areas.
Ya know, about three months ago I saw a GIANT cat sitting on the hood of our car late one night. I went out to more closely look at it and it ran away, but in the dim moonlight I saw that it had no tail. I was surprised to see such a huge Manx. At least that's what I thought it was!
That thing hung around for weeks. Now I wonder if it was a bobcat. We've also had many other sightings of this giant cat--always late at night and once I even saw it in the back yard! Each time I completely dismissed the possibility that it could be a bobcat here in the center of town; I've only heard about sightings out towards the edges town. It makes total sense though. There's certainly enough for them to eat here. Thanks for sharing that Constance!
