Also known as cougars or pumas, mountain lions are native to California and are often a topic of interest due to their elusive nature, occasional sightings in suburban areas, and interactions with humans and pets.

#2 Gray Whale (Eschrichtius robustus)

The California coast is a prime location for gray whale watching during their annual migration between Alaska and Mexico. Many people in California and beyond may search for information on gray whales to learn about their migration patterns, behaviors, and where to spot them.

#3 California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus)

As one of the rarest birds in the world, the California condor is a subject of conservation efforts and public interest. People may search for information on California condors to learn about their habitat, population status, and conservation programs.

#4 Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris)

Found along the California coast, sea otters are beloved marine mammals known for their playful behavior and importance to the coastal ecosystem. They are often searched for due to their cuteness and significance in marine conservation.

Wrapping Up with the Most Googled Animals In California

In conclusion, some of these made sense and some were rather surprising. I was not expecting to see the Gray Whale appear as well as I have never heard of the California Condor. I think I may need to visit California soon to see these two for myself! If you think there should’ve been another more googled animal in the top 5, please feel free to let us know in the comments. Can’t wait to hear from you!

I am passionate about all animals and wildlife, especially their conservation and preservation. I grew up fascinated by the natural environment and feel most at peace surrounded by untouched nature. I live by sharing this passion with others through diving, as I am also a freediving guide - stepping into another realm, sharing the ocean with all of the intriguing marine life.
