Chiricahua leopard frog, a threatened species found in the Fossil Creek watershed. The creek and its riparian zone support about 200 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. The list includes many special-status species such as the southwestern willow flycatcher and Chiricahua leopard frog. [25]
