Help Wildlife
 With the continued growth in Lathrop City limits, the wild animal
population habitats are being disturbed, such as: coyotes, foxes, hawks, jack rabbits,
snakes, and even rodents such as squirrels, mice, gophers, etc. Understanding their
habits and behaviors will help in dealing with them as they are seen in our City
more frequently. All of these animals are extremely adaptable and eventually they
will move on to find a more suitable living environment.
There are a variety of wild animals that live within Lathrop. Click
