Sants Cruz Island is also a wonderful place to be. It is 22 miles off the coast of Ventura. 2-6 miles wide. Santa Cruz is 61,764 Acres. The Island by Santa Cruz is Anacapa and Santa Rosa Island. If you go to the beach, and you look out at the ocean, you will sea the Channel Islands. The biggest one is Santa Cruz. The location is'nt the most important thing obout the island. It's the appearance that makes the island so magnificent. The island has lots of amazing features to it. It has giant sea caves that are great habitats for undersea life. The caves or formed by weathering, wind, and erosion. Most of the island is made up of volcanic rock because of volcanos. The island is of corse bigger than anacapa island. Alot of marine life and land life on Santa Cruz island. Then the second most beautiful thing is the wonderful animals. The island fox is one of the most amazing animals on Santa Cruz. The Island Fox has gray fur on its head, a ruddy red coloring on its sides, white furanta on its stomach, throat and the lower half of its face, and a black stripe on the dorsal surface of its tail. The fox eats fruits, insects, birds, eggs, crabs, lizards and small mammals. The Island Fox comes out and hunts at dawn and dusk. The Island Fox is not scared of humans, although at first might show aggression. An aquatic animal is called the sea anemone. A sea anemone is a polyp attached at the bottom to the surface beneath it by an adhesive foot, called a basal disc, with a column shaped body ending in an disc. Most are from 1.8 to 3 centimetres (0.71 to 1.2 in) in diameter, but anemones as small as 4 millimetres (0.16 in) or as large as nearly 2 metres (6.6 ft) are known. If you think the endemic animals on Santa Cruz are cool, think again. The plants on Santa Cruz Island are also very amazing. Some plants are also very amazing, like Sea lettuce. Sea Lettuce is edible lettuce from the sea, which can found on rocks in mid-tide places. The Island Paintbrush only grows on Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa and San Miguel Islands. The Island Paintbrush is also a part of the family figwort. It kind of of looks like it has a long stem with flower peddles growing out of it.

That is all of the things that I know about Santa Cruz Island.
