Despite being surrounded by a modern community, Aztec Ruins offers habitat for a number of species. The high desert, riparian, and historical orchard environments serve as home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Large mammals commonly seen are mule deer; less common visitors have been cougars and black bears.
