Many many animals live in the dunes of Mugu. Sand dunes and the beaches next to them have 'wrack' thrown up on to them from storms. The plants adapted to the sand, heat and salty water create a netting to hold the sand and they are homes to these vertebrates and invertebrates. Sometimes the only way to know who lives here is to look for 'scat,' bones, burrows, and footprints.
