Answer 3

Up most of the side canyons, before damnation, there were springs, sometimes flowing streams, waterfalls and plunge pools the kind of marvels you can now find only in such small-scale remnants of Glen Canyon as the Escalante area. In the rich flora of these laterals the larger mammals mule deer, coyote, bobcat, ring-tailed cat, gray fox, kit fox, skunk, badger and others found a home. When the river was dammed almost all of these things were lost. Crowded out or drowned and buried under mud.
