Mexican Gray Wolf
The Mexican Gray Wolf is the most endangered of its species. There are only 175 left of them in the world, most of which are in captivity. They are the smallest of wolves that are alive currently. Due to housing and hunting, they became extinct within North America. Only recently have we replenished some of their numbers. They are one of the largest, well noted, predators in the Sonoran Desert.
The Impact that they would have on the environment, were they to go extinct, would be very critical. The Mexican Gray Wolf is one of the largest predators in the Sonoran Desert and helps keep the Consumer populations under control. Were they to vanish, vermin and pests would increase and would lower the supply of food for other consumers. This also would cause problems amongst human populations due to invasion of these vermin in households and shops.

Jaguar
Jaguars are are rarely seen in the United States of America due to human interference. There are reportedly around 50-120 in the Sonoran Desert with eye-witness accounts proving their presence. Jaguars are hunted primarily for their beautiful coat, and also have become endangered due to habitat loss.
The extinction of the Jaguar within the Sonoran Desert would result in the major consumer reduction. The Jaguar is possibly the biggest predator within the Sonoran area and make sure that larger animals like the big horn sheep do not overpopulate and consume all of the producers.

Lesser Long- Nosed Bat
The Lesser Long- Nosed Bat is one of the smallest bats known today. Adult males usually grow to about eight centimeters in size. People usually mistake them for Vampire Bats and therefore they tend to not mind killing them off for pest control. This bat is a very big pollinator for cacti throughout the Sonoran Desert and is tantamount to the growth of cacti.
The extinction of the Lesser Long- Nosed Bat would create flora problems within the Sonoran Desert. This bat is a huge contributor pollination of cacti and agave. If it were not there to pollinate, a very common habitat and food for most of the animals within the Desert would disappear. This would lower the biodiversity and, therefore, unstable ecosystem.

There are many other endangered species in the Sonoran Desert. Most of us don't realize how quickly a species can disappear if we aren't careful about our actions. If your interested in helping conserve any of these animals or any other animals in general, try out different ways to be more Eco-friendly (recycling, planting, cutting back on habitat destruction). One small change can be a huge help!
