Distribution in Arizona
This particular species of sucker can actually be found in a variety of places within the Southwest, ranging from the Yaqui River in Mexico, to the Cajon Bonito south of Douglas. In Arizona, it can be found anywhere within the systems of Cochise County and San Bernardino Creek. Since, 1978, populations have decreased drastically with little recovery. They have completely disappeared from San Bernardino Creek, and The Endangered Species Act is currently trying to protect those in Cochise County. Most have been extirpated since 1968.

Famous quotes containing the words distribution and/or arizona:
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The Great Arizona Desert is full of the bleaching bones of people who waited for me to start something.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
