Most wildlife species and all livestock do. Water is often the limiting factor for Arizona wildlife. Permanent water sources, such as this one at Hance springs, greatly enhance the value of a particular area for both wildlife and livestock, as well as people. However, many of the water sources for wildlife in Arizona are only seasonal or intermittent.
Water sources are strong attractants and good locations to see wildlife and signs of wildlife.
