What animals are in Big Bend National Park?

I’ve lived in Texas my entire life, but I’ve never had the chance to visit Big Bend National Park until now. I know there’s hiking and rafting and things like that, but I’m a huge animal lover and I want to take wildlife pics. What animals are there in Big Bend National Park?
