Predators like snakes, hawks, eagles, and coyotes hunt smaller animals in the Sonoran Desert, helping maintain ecological balance.

The Sonoran Desert is home to diverse predators that hunt rodents, lizards, and insects to survive. Rattlesnakes use venom to paralyze prey, while hawks and eagles rely on sharp vision and aerial speed to catch small animals. Coyotes, being highly adaptable, hunt rodents, rabbits, and even insects. These predators keep prey populations in check, ensuring a balanced ecosystem. Their ability to thrive in extreme desert conditions highlights the intricate food chain of this unique habitat, making them essential for maintaining biodiversity in the Sonoran Desert.
