This diverse vegetation supports a large and varied number of wildlife, desert mule deer, javelina, blue quail, morning and whitewing dove, coyote, bobcat, mountain lions, black bear (protected species), fox, jack and cottontail rabbits. Although this area is primarily mule deer country, whitetail deer have been seen on the ranch.
