As in every corner of the earth,
fauna here has been affected by human interference. San Juan Cosala used to
have a lot of deer and other animals, but today, to see wildlife, you must
hike up the mountain to the cascades, said to be the largest and most beautiful.
There you may glimpse many animal species - porcupine, rabbit, squirrel, hundreds
of birds of all shapes and colors, butterflies, other insects. The further
you go into the mountains, the more you hear the sounds of birdsong, insects,
falling water, animal calls - a wonderful interaction with Mother Earth.
In the Lake, some fish are still to be caught. Charales, carp and bagre, the
most common, are fished by villagers for food and to sell.
Farm animals - horses, donkeys, cows, hens, chickens and pigs - are part of
everyday lives at work time. Most houses have dogs and cats, and there are
some street dogs as well.
