Arizona is home to some fascinating wildlife species. As you’re exploring the state’s outdoors, don’t be surprised if you spot coyotes, javelinas, bears, deer, and coatimundi. Expect to see some interesting reptiles as well, including Gila monsters, which can be found in several state parks. And keep an eye out—or an ear—for diamondback rattlesnakes. Solitary creatures, they tend to give a quick warning rattle if you get too close.
