Santa Cruz island is amazing with all these amazing animals but first I'm going to tell you about the island. The location of Santa Cruz Island is located off the coast of California and is 22 miles long and from 2 to 6 miles wide. It is very beautiful with all these animals and plants like the island fox.

The ** Island fox ﻿﻿ **is incredable beacuse it ﻿is a small fo﻿x that is native to six of the eight Channel Islands andOther names for the Island Fox include Coast Fox, ox, Island Gray Fox, Channel Islands Fox, Channel Islands Gray Fox, California Channel Island Fox and Insular Gray Fox. It eats fruit, insects, birds, eggs, crabs, lizards and deer mice. I know that the Island fox is amazing but, that's not as fasinating as the Silverleaf.

The ** Silverleaf ** is a large shrub. It is named for the region where it is silvery sheen of its leaves, which reduces water loss. This endemic plants flowers between November and January, producing small, shaped flowers. Its fruit resemble small red apples. Silverleaf is a dominant plant. This narrow endemic plant, which is recognized by the California Native Plant Society is among the most rare and endangerd plant.
