Arizona predatory mammals are defined as coyotes, bobcats, foxes and skunks. As of 2009 it is currently NOT LEGAL to NIGHT HUNT these animals.

The bobcat, though seldom seen, is very common and found throughout the state. Coyotes are Arizona’s most common predator and found throughout the entire state. There are three species of fox in Arizona - the red fox, kit fox, and gray fox.

At least four species of skunks are found in Arizona. The most common of the species by far is the cat-sized striped skunk that occurs throughout Arizona. All of the species have scent glands which secrete a secretion of musk that gives them their malodorous reputation.
