Mammals of the monument

This checklist names mammals that have been observed, and those that, mainly according to collection records and distribution maps in The Recent Mammals of Arizona, by E. Lendell Cockrum, 1960, may occur in the monument. One species, the desert kangaroo rat, probably occurs only in the Tucson Mountain Section. (See checklist of reptiles and amphibians for description of habitats.)
