Northern Spotted Owl
Saving the spotted owl will save an entire ecosystem on which plants, other animals, and humans depend. The spotted owl is considered an indicator species -- a gauge of the health of the ecosystem that provides its habitat.
Dusky Footed Woodrat
Dusky-footed woodrats are named for their sooty-gray feet. Woodrats’ instinct to gather food and sticks also sometimes drives them to pick-up shiny objects, too, which is why they’re also called packrats and trade rats. They build large, domed dens that can reach several feet in height and house many generations.
Foothill Yellow Legged Frog
A striking stream-dwelling amphibian with a distinctive lemon-yellow color under its legs. The rest of their body is variable in color, ranging from black to olive or greenish-brown. Females lay an average of 1,000 eggs that all hatch at the same time, sometimes after only 5 days! Usually timed with late spring flows.
