From curious chickarees and colorful Western Tanagers to our iconic black bears, Lake Tahoe’s local wildlife is an incredible part of what makes our region so unique.
Our Tahoe California State Parks are some of the best spots to experience these animals in their natural habitat!
When you're out exploring, remembering to respect wildlife from a safe distance keeps both you and our local species safe. A great trick to remember is the Rule of Thumb 👍-- Hold your arm straight out in front of you and give a thumbs-up. Close one eye and try to cover the animal with your thumb. If you can still see the animal around your thumb, you’re too close—take a few steps back!
