Forty miles to the west of Tucson, a developer attempted to develop an oasis glade in the Sonoran Desert  He created a glade that, the developer claims, is as lush and plant-filled as the ambient 35 degree C temperatures allow  In particular, the developer planted several native fruit-bearing plants, such as prickly-pear cactus
Once the glade was established, a number of desert birds and mammals would regularly inhabit the glade, often eating most of the fruit that falls from the plants
the presence of the desert animals in the glade do not serve as evidence against the claim of the developer.
