These are some animals from the Chaparral ecosystem. chipmunk, Javenlia, Caracal, Aardwolf, puma (cougar)


 * Chipmunk
 * Javenlia
 * Carcal-fastest and bigest animal in the chaparral.
 * Puma
 * Aardwolf
 * Lynx-they prefer the cold not the warmth.
 * Golden Eagle
 * Grey Fox
 * Peccary
 * Gemsbok-lives in clefs and around vegitation.

These animals have adapted there bodies to wildfires in there ecosystems.they might not like wildfires.It so hot that they happen very often, because of they very hot climates and because it never ranis unless it is wineter. but winter never really ranis that often even if its winter. so when the grass burns and nobody is around then a small wildfire turns into a big one.
