Animal Ambassadors

L.A. County is filled with native wildlife and the animal ambassador program makes it easy to see the critters up close. The County's animal ambassadors are animals that are native to Southern California but are non-releasable, meaning, they are not able to care for themselves in the wild. The program allows Nature Center visitors to experience live birds of prey, native snakes, toads, and spiders and taxidermy mammals including coyotes, gray fox, and rabbits. It also gives them the opportunity to learn about a variety of animals that all live at the Nature Center or Natural Area and how the wildlife co-exist and thrive.
