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.

What is the culture of the sothwest?

The Southwest Culture was very different from the Plains Culture. The climate of the Southwest is very dry. Much of the land is a desert. A desert is a very dry place where few plants will grow. Water was a precious natural resource in this culture. The Indians in this culture had strict rules about the use of water. Even the very young children were taught to be careful with the water they used. There were very few animals in the desert. This meant that the Indians could not depend on hunting to find food. They had to find other ways to get food. They became farmers. Some important Southwest Culture tribes are the Anasazi, Hopi, Pueblo, and Navajo.
