Mammals

 

Common Name: Coyote
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Canidae
Genus: Canis
Species: Canis latrans
Other members of Canidae include foxes, wolves, jackals, and all breeds of domesticated dog.  The coyote's scientific name is Canis latrans, which means "barking dog". The coyote's principal diet consists of mice, rabbits, ground squirrels, other small rodents, insects, reptiles, fruits, and berries.

 

Common Name: California Ground-Squirrel
Class: Mammalia
Order: Rodentia
Family: Sciuridae
Genus: Spermophilus
Species: Spermophilus beecheyi
Description:  Gray, light brown and dusky fur are mixed to give the California Ground Squirrel's upperparts a mottled appearance. During the breeding season, from about February to April, and during the summer months, California Ground Squirrels are above ground for long periods each day. They often spend their time feeding (they eat a variety of seeds, fruits, acorns, roots, mushrooms, and even insects such as grasshoppers, crickets, and caterpillars), sunning, dust-bathing, and grooming. In one of their favorite sun bathing positions the squirrel lies with its belly on the ground, elbows on the ground with forearms extended and head raised. They also like to sit straight up, motionless, with their arms hanging down across their chest and their paws resting one upon the other. From this position they love to look about. In fact, their vision is thought to be about equivalent to a human's.- (http://www.etc-etc.com/sqrlinfo.htm)

 

Common Name: Brush Rabbit
Class: Mammalia
Order: Rodentia
Family: Leporidae
Genus: Sylvilagus
Species: Sylvilagus bachmani
Brush rabbits are small, short-legged rabbits with moderately pointed ears and white cottontails. They eat many kinds of grasses and forbs, especially sow thistle and sea lettuce. They favor areas of dense brush for protection and cover, and are therefore seldom seen. They can be diurnal or nocturnal, so watch for them near thickets of blackberries or dense shrubs, or crossing the trails.-(http://www.slostateparks.com)
