==**Anacapa Island is an amzing island to visit. It not only have cliffs, arches, sea caves, and much more it has animals and plant species. It has an amzing Arch called Arch Rock, which I will be telling you about. The island is part of the California's Channel Islands, and is the smallest of all.**== ==**This island has a very odd shape. Its shape looks like a snake, or perhaps a sea monster. The island also has many, many, arches. This island even has an amazing arch that has many colors. The arches that are at Anacapa Island have an N-shape to them. My guess on how the rocks got like that is due to weathering and erosion. The waves were probably pushing against the rocks and then they broke down. The biggest and most impressive arch is Arch Rock. The rock amazes me because; it actually has blue on the side. Some people think that it is because of the water reflecting against the rock, but my hypothesis is that the waves were breaking the rock apart, and in the inside was a different color. But that’s just my hypothesis. Although it is fascinating, it's location is amazing.**== ==**Anacapa Island is located 14 miles off the coast of Ventura. If you were to walk along the coast of Ventura you would be able to see Anacapa Island. Anacapa Island is made up of 3 small islands. The three amazing islands collided as one. If you were to look at a map with a grid, looked for Anacapa Island, on the grid it would read say on it 34 degrees latitude and -119 degrees longitude. This island is very big by looking at it from afar but compared to the other islands it is very small. This island is surrounded by a great sea of animals.**== ==**There are many endemic animals at Anacapa, but there is one (in particular) that actually has Anacapa in its name. This animal is called the Anacapa Deer Mouse. This animal only lives in Anacapa. It is bigger than mice on the main land. This is because the island doesn’t have a lot of predators to eat the mouse, and there is plenty of food to eat, so to mice, Anacapa Island is like paradise! There are great animals that are native too.**== ==**There aren’t just endemic animals at Anacapa; there are also many native animals. One is the Garibaldi fish. The Garibaldi is California’s Native fish. You are most likely to see Garibaldi’s out on the coast of Anacapa. See, if you were to swim out on the shores of Ventura, it is less likely to see a Garibaldi. But at Anacapa; seeing the Garibaldi is typical.**==

**Anacapa has beautiful plants underwater, and above.**
==**One plant that I know is called, Giant Kelp (Macrocystis Pyrifera). Giant Kelp is n the middle of stable, and being endangered. Giant Kelp looks very beautiful. It is orange-like and thin. It is a truly beautiful sight to see. This fish fits the hole in many fishes’ habitats. They are long and sway back and forth in the water. There is also the cliff-aster flower that would remind you of a dandelion. This plant lives above water. This plant has very beautiful white petals on the outside and very small petals on the outside. This plant would remind you of the sun with a white scarf wrapped around its face.**==
