Predominating fauna in Ajijic is birds, fish, domestic and farm animals. Once there were mountain cats and deer in the higher altitudes, but they are vanishing with time. Badger, dasypus, skunk, some reptiles, and huilotas are occasionally seen.

Large colonies of white garzas (herons) and snowy egrets are to be found on the lakeshore. Herons regularly take to the giant eucalyptus trees at dusk. Cinsontle, jilguero sparrows and kiskadees are some of the birds most often seen in town.

In the Lake are carp, charales, tilapia, pintas and sea-fish that the local people eat or sell.

Horses, cows, donkeys, hens, chickens and pigsare not uncommon in the village, and most families own a dog or a cat.
