Small mammals that <br /> might be found include cottontail, white-tailed and black-tailed jackrabbit, badger, <br /> pronghorn antelope, coyote, swift fox, plains pocket gopher, long-tailed weasel, and <br /> several species of mice. Reptiles might include the western rattlesnake, race snake, <br /> western box turtle, and six-lined racerunner. Deer common to eastern Colorado may be <br /> found at the site from time to time. No known endangered species are in the area. <br />
