Los Angeles is home to a variety of plants, wildlife, and climate. The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy zone covers an area from the edge of the Mojave Desert to the Pacific Ocean. Some native plant species are California poppy, matilija poppy, toyon, live oak and the Los Angeles sunflower. By far, chaparral is the dominant vegetation in the Conservancy zone. Moreover, cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers create a Mediterranean-type of ecosystem. On another note, the Santa Monica Mountains and other terrains contain wild animals such as coyotes, deer, bobcats, mountain lion, rodents, black beers and many more. Los Angeles has a Subtropical-Mediterranean climate that allows for more shine than rain. To elaborate, the average annual temperature in downtown is 66 *F (19*C) during the day and 57*F (14*C) at night and the average precipitation annually is 15.14 inches. Equally important, Los Angeles is subject to a phenomena called microclimate: big variations in temperature in close physical proximity of each other.
