Gray foxes preferred northern mixed chaparral over other habitats, followed by coastal sage scrub, coast live oak, then

(6) The vegetation at Torrey Pines has been called degraded chaparral, but most experts classify it as coastal sage scrub, even though chaparral-type plants, such as

They ran into a patch of
