Abstract
The vertebrate fauna of Deadman Cave includes 5 amphibians, 25 reptiles (13 lizards and 12 snakes), 12 birds, and 22 mammals for a total of 64 species. Other than the extinct animals, the fauna dating of the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene is little different from that which is available in S Arizona today. What appears to have changed is the mosaic of the plant and animal community. distinctly boreal animals are lacking from the fauna. The climate during the time of deposition of the cave sediment appears to have been equable; certain animals now confined to deserts were able to live in more diverse woodland communities. -from Authors
