Alligator lizards in the genus Gerrhonotus and several species of rattlesnakes, including those in the genera Crotalus and Sistrurus, are found throughout the Californian chaparral. They feed on rodents such as the California mouse, Peromyuscus californicus, and on small mammals such as the brush rabbit, Sylvilagus bachmani. Chaparral scrub also protects a range of smaller species, especially insects and other invertebrates, reptiles and rodents, from attack by aerial predators.
