 **__ ** __ Anacapa Island  __ ** __** **The Anacapa Island is the second smallest island of the other Channel Islands. The Anacapa Island is 14 miles from the mainland (Ventura). When you go to the beach and look at the water you will see what looks like 3 islands. The one on the left is Anacapa Island. The closes island to the Anacapa Island is the Santa Cruz Island. ****If you think the Location is amazing prepare yourself for the ****Physical Appearance ****! **  **The Anacapa Island is 3 miles long and one-half a mile wide. The unique thing about the Anacapa Island is that it looks like it changes if you look at it from different views. The arch rock is part of the Anacapa Island. It is a black island made of **** igneous rock. Which means it is volcanic. It looks like a bent arrow that the Chumash used. It looks like it has been weathered down and eroded. If you see the native and endemic plants on the island your mouth will drop open! **
 * The Anacapa Island is filled with aquatic and terrestrial plants. There is the **** Northern island Hazardia and there is the Island Morning Glory in the terrestrial and Seaweed in the aquatic plants. The Northern Island Hazardia is a golden yellow flower and a white stem and white leaves. The Island Morning Glory is a white bell shaped flower with a golden yellow star shape in the center. Seaweed is a plant found usually washed up on shore. It looks like it has eggs inside. These are some plants that live on Anacapa Island and live off Anacapa Island, ****but another amazing thing to see are the native and endemic animals on the island! **
 * The Anacapa Island is filled with aquatic and terrestrial animals. There are native and endemic animals there. A terrestrial animal would be a **** Xantus Merrelet or a Brown Pelican . They are both endangered but they are making a great comeback. An aquatic animal would be a Garibaldi . If you look in the water you would be able to see an orange fish in the water. That is a fish called the Garibaldi . Anacapa Island is an amazing place to be! **
