Chapter 13: Wildlife


In this section I will mention some of the wildlife around San
Fernando. Much of San Fernando is highly developed, but in its
surrounding mountains, you can see certain types of wildlife
making this area their home. 

The two most common types of wild plants around San Fernando
are chaparral and sage scrub.

Many of the mountains surrounding San Fernando are home to
wild animals. Some of these wild animals are the coyotes, mule
deer, bobcats, raccoons, and skunks. Mountain lions can also be
found in the surrounding mountains. They are actually the top
predator in the area. In the Santa Susana and Santa Gabriel
Mountains, black bears make this area their home.

 
 
There are also 18 species of snakes and 8 species of lizards. You
can find pacific rattlesnakes (the only venomous snake in
California), gophers snake, California king snakes, and California
striped racers.
