The Rainbow Trout is a freshwater fish that prefers cool lakes and streams.

Western Toads are mostly terrestrial but prefer areas around marshes and lakes. Just in case its amazing camouflage doesn't work, the toad can also secrete a dissuasive toxin.

Funnel Web Spiders (or grass spiders) are identified by their striped legs and dense webs. This large spider dines on a freshly caught grasshopper.

Male tarantulas can often be found crossing the path in late summer in search of females.

Jumping Spiders do not build webs, but leap at their prey.

Gopher Snakes (or Bull Snakes) are among the more human-friendly species of North American snakes, mainly due to the fact that they are not venomous and hunt vermin. They can reach five to six feet in length.

Garter Snakes are the single most widely distributed species of reptile in North America. There is little variation within the pattern among the different varieties, but coloration varies widely.
