This is a very general answer only: \nCoastal Range: Mammals include mule deer, pronghorn, tule elk, coyote, bobcat, ground squirrel, and kangaroo rat. Birds include hawks, eagles, owls, quail, mourning dove, mockingbird, scrub jay, gulls, herons, crows, finches, and sparrows.\nSouthern CA Mountains and Valleys: Mammals include mule deer, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, coyote, bobcat, mountain lion, ground squirrel, and kangaroo rat. Birds include hawks, eagles, owls, quail, mourning dove, mockingbird, jays, gulls, herons, crows, finches, and sparrows.\nThis is but a selection of the animals and I haven't even started on amphibia, reptiles and insects. \n\nBut obviously you have access to a computer - don't you know how to google? Lots of websites out there that are probably more reliable than what you get here!

The United States has several large deserts.  The main ones are the Mojave, the Great Basin, the Chihuahuan and the Sonoran.  Each on has differnt types of plant and animal life that differentiate them from the others.  There are far too many facts to mention about deserts without knowing exactly what you are looking for so I am going to post a source for more info.

I hunt mainly coon but my dogs of put up a few bobcat every season.  I've also hunted bear a few times.  I run one Bluetick, 2 redbones, and used to run two black and tans until a few weeks ago when my lead black and tan got hit and killed by a car.  Oh and I'm in the Big California.

Here is one of the best websites on the deserts of the Southwestern USA, which includes desert life, some geology, and descriptions of the deserts.\nhttp://www.desertusa.com/flow.html\n\nCalifornia has some wondrous deserts, with miles and miles of open wild spaces. The main deserts in California are the Sonoran Desert, the Mojave Desert, and portions of the Great Basin Desert. Other names exist in common usage for some portions of these deserts. \n\nThere is also a list of good books on deserts on the DesertUSA website:\nhttp://www.desertusa.com/web_cart/db/pages/chi.html\n\nTo learn more about what conditions create a desert check out the UC Berkeley website on Desert Biomes at:\nhttp://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/glossary/gloss5/biome/deserts.html\n\nThe USGS is another great resource for information on deserts:\nhttp://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/deserts/

I believe in the possibility of such an animal existing. There have been reports of similar animals in North America (San Francisco and Lake Champlain).
