Anacapa Island is one island of the Channel Island by California that was formed volcanically. It is located about 14 miles (232km) off the coast of Ventura in Ventura County, California. You are able to see Anacapa Island from Ventura beach out in the ocean on your left side. It is the smallest Island it looks extremely big but really its the smallest island. Its total area is 2.947 Square Kilometers (1.138sq.mi.) and its 34 in Latitude and 119.4 in Longitude. Also the one Island on the right is Santa Cruz. They are actually around 5 miles apart from each other. Lets look at his very odd shape.

Anacapa Island Odd Shape Anacapa Island has a very odd shape to it. It reminds me of a crocodile just lying down with its long tale crossing the water. Well this beautiful Island has a lot of arches on it. Also this Island is very tall rocky and has lots of sheer cliffs. Lots of plants and animals have been living on this Island and that is why there is lots of guano all over it. All of those caves in the Island are there pretty much for a reason. Well the lava would flow all through it all in certain places. This is called a volcanic rock. Talking about that now you no it's just a huge chunk of igneous rock and as you could see this has been weathered and eroded from wind and lots of big waves



Anacapas Native Animals Anacapa Island is one of the Channel Islands that was formed volcanically and is now home to some of California’s National and animals. The Bald Eagle represents Americas National bird and is a Native animal. The Bald Eagle once nested on the Channel Islands such as Anacapa or Santa Cruz . But most of the birds live on the main land and some are still found nesting there. Its diet is eating rabbits, raccoons, beavers, ducks, gulls, and geese but most hunt fish known as salmon only if there around the ocean. Although the Bald Eagle represents Americas National animal and is Native so does the Garibaldi. The Garibaldi is a bony fish that is also a Native animal and represents Americas National animal.
