Believe it or not, there are deer and antelope in the desert - also pronghorns (similar to antelope, but not exactly the same), goats, and sheep (think 'Bighorn Rams') and, yes, even fish! Doves, quail, and wild turkeys used to be plentiful. Rabbits still are- and so are mice, rats, and voles. There are bees everywhere that make honey, and there are also edible fruits, flowerbuds, and plants. Olive trees, date palms, mesquite trees (beans), and oak trees will grow in the desert climate as well as the plethora of cactus that bear fruit.
