California is much more than just pristine white beaches and striking sunsets. The state, which actually has a good bit of snow despite rumors, is home to some of the most stunning landscapes in the country. As you might expect, this means it is also home to a host of interesting animals. Not only does California have dolphins and a huge population of seagulls, it also has large predators like grizzly bears. Unfortunately, because the state is such a hotspot for tourists, most of the animals in California have the potential to become pests.
There are some animals that seem to be present in almost every state, if not much of North America. Some of these critters, like raccoons, are also found in California. But while California has bats, coyotes, squirrels, rabbits, and other common wild animals, it also has some unique creatures that are not found in other areas of the country. Because of its classification as a coastal state, California must face the predicaments associated with a variety of sea lion and seal species. Most of these are shy toward people; however, the pups are common prey for larger animals like foxes and coyotes, animals that can pose a disease or attack threat to humans.
Southern California is notoriously warm for most of the year, despite the frigid temperatures and prevailing snow in the mountain regions. For this reason, many amphibians and reptiles thrive in the state. There are frogs and toads by the dozens, including the California chorus frog and the Cascades frog. There are also numerous salamanders, snakes, and turtles. The desert tortoise, the state’s recognized reptile, can survive in areas with temperatures up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
As you can imagine, depending on the region of California, pest animals can appear from any species. People living near the coasts will find themselves more inundated with aquatic critters, while people in the rural mountain regions will wage war with bears and coyotes. Those somewhere in the middle will find a good number of venomous snakes, like the rattlesnake, and unlimited numbers of raccoons, skunks, and other scavengers. The most commonly removed critters are raccoons, bats, pigeons, skunks, and a variety of birds including woodpeckers, swallows, and seagulls. Like many other areas with a diverse climate, the west coast of the United States has one of the highest rates of human-animal conflict. This is not just because of the dense animal population, but more due to the dense human population that is continually growing.

San Jose Wildlife Tip
San Jose, CA Wildlife News Clip:
Wildlife - Nature in the City of San JoseThe slope behind Laguna Honda Hospital, near San Jose's geographical center, is a gloomy and inhospitable place. Ragged eucalyptus trees choked in ivy loom over the remnants of a homeless encampment. Bags of trash and used syringes lurk in the impassable brambles. Cars hurry past on the noisy street below, drivers and passengers oblivious. California has an abundance of wildlife, and San Jose is no exception. But when Jimmy the Squirrel and Snake Man stands amid this darkness and makes a quick rushing sound through pursed lips, something remarkable happens: The spot comes to life. Tiny, curious birds materialize out of the underbrush and hop cautiously our way. Although several species of wildlife roam San Jose, only a few, such as raccoons and squirrels, are considered pest wildlife. Ruby-crowned kinglets, a hermit thrush, Townsend's warbler, chestnut-backed chickadees and others surround us from all directions. A hummingbird swings, chirruping, around an overgrown trunk. The birds twitter at us and the hollow is transformed. Remember to treat the wild animals of San Jose, California, with respect. Squirrel and Snake Man is an ecologist who specializes in San Jose's native ecosystems. He's part of a small but committed underground of forceful advocates for nature within the city, people who are actively planting the seeds of a different kind of city -- one that coexists with wildlife. California has many reptiles, and it’s important to be able to identify San Jose snake species and mammals.
San Jose is the third largest city in the state of California, after LA and San Diego. It is located in Santa Clara County which is at the south end of the San Francisco Bay, also known as “Silicon Valley”. It has an approximate population of 904,000 citizens and is considered the safest city with a population greater than 500,000 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. San Jose started out as a farming community, and quickly transformed into a city focused on technology by the 1960s. IBM established their headquarters back in 1943 and from that point on, Silicon Valley expanded into a research and development city for all types of tech companies such as Adobe Systems, BEA Systems, Cisco, and eBay, as well as major facilities for Flextronics, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, and Lockheed Martin. With the technology industry being as strong as it is, it is no wonder that San Jose is a prosperous and safe place to live! It's also a safe place for many wild animals, thanks to all of the homes here that animals like to live in. We also service the towns of Redwood Estates, Alviso, Milpitas, Mountain View, Sunnyvale and also animal control in Coyote, Cupertino, Santa Clara, San Martin and pest control in Campbell, Mount Hamilton, New Almaden and wild animal services in Holy City, Los Altos, Morgan Hill and wildlife management in Los Gatos, Gilroy, Saratoga.
