Extinct mammals, like the saber-toothed cats and mammoths, and birds, like Merriam's Teratorn and Grinnell's Eagle, roamed the Los Angeles Basin for several hundred thousand years. These and other extinct species were entrapped and their remains were preserved between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago at Rancho La Brea, during the last of four great Ice Ages at the end of the Pleistocene Epoch.

A complete count of animals used in research is unknown because federal laws do not require research institutions to record the number of rats, mice and cold blooded animals that are used in experimentation. Estimates for total numbers are between 20-70 million. Of the animals who are counted, here is what we know: The number of warm-blooded vertebrate animals used in science each year in the United States is approximately 28 million.

A study done in 1975 identified over 13 different species living on the property. Foxes are the largest mammals that live permanently on site.

While under the influence of the waning Ice Age, La Brea's climate was somewhat cooler and moister than today. This climate produced a vegetation similar in type to that which presently exists on California's Monterey Peninsula, located approximately 300 miles to the north. Fossils evidence also indicates shallow ponds and marshes existed at La Brea.

Veterinarians have found homoeopathy just as effective for animals as for people. It is widely used for cats, dogs, horses, cows and sheep.

Not sure really, but not that many.
