of course seen the california sea lion too. Long tailed weasel ,rosy Boa sound awesome,but too overwhelming. i am looking for sharp tailed snakes which are about a foot long and supposed to be common.
Thank you for your comment, Hema and congratulations on your Kingsnake! You're spotting a lot of great Cali critters :) I still have the Long-tailed Weasel, Bighorn Sheep and Rosy Boa on the top of my list for California.
Wow so we have these here too! hopefully will see one soon. i saw a kingsnake. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/260856039 So to add to my list of California Quail, tarantula,Coyote,Bob cat, The ranger told me where the Mt lion is. Too scared to go there. and as for bears ,will have to go to Tahoe. Extinct on Mt Diablo. i am not sure if I saw the California sister butterfly. if anything californian comes to mind please let me know!!
