This fish is a large elongated fish, adapted to quick flowing rivers. It has a predator so it has a large mouth with sharp teeth. They are typically either an olive green color, or brown, but lighter on the ventral side. As for thermal regulation, the Colorado Pikeminnow is ectothermic.

Colorado Pikeminnows are oviparous (lay eggs). They typically spawn in early spring or summer. The males fertilize them externally. They then adhere to substrate and hatch into larvae. It takes between 5-9 years for them to reach maturity.

Colorado pikeminnows prefer large, swift flowing rivers, with deep pools and complex riverine habitat. They are found primarily in the Colorado river basin, but also all across Northern America, and of course- Arches National Park.

Colorado pikeminnows are apex predators in their ecosystem, primarily feeding on small fish, insects and crustaceans. They are carnivorous. They play a crucial role of regulating prey. However, they are also preyed upon by larger animals such as birds of prey, larger fish and otters/racoons.

Spadefoot toads are small amphibians with round bodies and short limbs. They have a distinctive spade-like projection on their hind feet, used for burrowing. They have modified patterns that provide camouflage. Spadefoot toads are ectothermic, and get their temperature regulation from the sun.

Spadefoot toads go through metamorphosis. They lay eggs in shallow puddles. The eggs hatch into tadpoles, which undergo development in water, feeding on algae and other organic matter. They then develop limbs and transition into toads that can live on land. They reach maturity in between 1-3 years.

They are found in various ecosystems including grasslands, deserts (like Arches National Park), scrublands, and forests. They prefer habitats where they can burrow, and be near rivers, ponds or other bodies of water.

Spadefoot toads are typically nocturnal carnivores that feed on insects, spiders and worms. As adults they don't have a lot of predators due to their toxic skin secretions, however can also be eaten by birds, snakes and larger mammals.

Long-nosed leopard lizard (Gambelia wislizenii)

# data[].attributes.body
The long-nosed leopard lizard has a long body, short legs, a tail and a pointed snout. It is scaled, and has a pattern of spots along its back, hence it's name. They are typically tan, brown or gray which provide camouflage in its desert habitat.

These lizards reproduce by laying eggs. Mating typically occurs in the spring, and the females lay eggs in shallow nests dug in sand. It takes about 45-60 days for these eggs to hatch. After hatching these lizards are already independent and hunting for prey. They typically reach full maturity around 1-2 years.

Long-nosed leopard lizards are primarily found in arid regions. They are adapted to life in hot, dry climates and are commonly found in areas with sand or loose dry dirt where they can burrow to escape the heat. Specific locations where they can be found include desert regions in the southwestern United States, such as parts of Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah (Arches National Park)

Long-nosed leopard lizards are carnivores that feed on beetles, grasshoppers and ants. They are very active hunters with amazing eyesight and agility to hunt down their prey. They are also preyed upon by larger snakes, foxes and coyotes.

Bald Eagles have very distinctive features. They have a very large body with a wing span of up to 7 or more feet. Although they are predominantly brown, they have a head that is strikingly white giving it the iconic "bald" appearance. It has a bright yellow hooked beak and sharp talons. The bald eagle is endothermic meaning it regulates its body temperature internally.

Bald eagles reproduce by laying eggs. Mating typically occurs in the winter or early spring. Pairs will build very large nests. Females will lay 1-3 eggs which are incubated for around 35 days. After hatching, both parents will care o=for the young until they leave the nest at around 10-12 weeks. They typically reach maturity at around 4-5 years.

Bald Eagles are found in several differing habitats in North America including forests, wetlands, coastlines, and lakeshores. They prefer habitats with abundant prey, specifically fish with bodies of water. They are found in several national parks including Arches National Park.

Bald Eagles are apex predators and carnivores. Their diet primarily consists of fish, but they are opportunistic hunters and will also prey on birds, mammals, and carrion. They have keen eyesight and can see their prey from great distance. They swoop down and capture it with their large talons. They are not typically preyed upon however their young may be eaten by larger animals such as bears or other large birds of prey.

Bighorn sheep are known for their large curved horns as pictured. Both males and females have them, however the males are much larger. The horns can weigh up to 30 pounds. They have sturdy and built bodies adapted for climbing. They have fur colored typically greyish brown.

Bighorn sheep give live birth to their young, up to 1-2 lambs. Mating typically occurs in the fall. They have a gestation period of 6 months and are well developed at birth. They are weaned at around six months of age but may stay with their mothers for up to a year. They reach full maturity at around 2-3 years.

They are mostly found in mountainous regions including the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, and various other ranges. They are well adapted for climbing and maneuvering. Specific locations where they can be found include national parks such as Rocky Mountain National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Grand Canyon National Park and Arches National Park.

Bighorn sheep are herbivores, and they typically feed on grasses, herbs, shrubs and other vegetation. Because of their size and agility, it is difficult for predators to catch them. However young or weakened sheep may be eaten by bears, mountain lions, and wolves.
