Excerpt from Small Mammal Inventory of Chiricahua National Monument, Cochise County, ArizonaChiricahua National Monument (chir) was established on April 18, 1924, primarily because of its unique geological features. Over time, however, people have also recognized that the monument contains a diverse biota. This diversity is due to the variety of landforms present in chir and the two origins of the vertebrate fauna. Chir exists where species with Rocky Mountain origins reach their southernmost limits (near the United States Mexico border) and species of Mexican origin are at their northern limits. Consequently, the Chiricahua Mountains are renowned for the number of vertebrate species found there, especially birds. The mammalian fauna is diverse also: Cockrum for example, lists 97 mammal species that are, may be, or have been found in the Chiricahua Mountain region.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
