The typical native predators include the small wildcat, the Huiñia (Felis guigna), the Puma or Mountain Lion (Felis concolor); Rodents and other small mammals include the skunk- related Chingue (Conepatus humboltii), Quique (Galicitis cuja), the amphibious otter-like Huillín ((Lutra provocax), canidae related Patagonian fox (Pseudalopex culpeus) along with the smaller introduced South American gray fox (Pseudalopex griseus.)

Throughout the relatively inaccessible high cordillera the Pudú (Pudu pudu) and Huemul deer (Hipocamelus bisculus) are rarely seen. Other rodent and bat species include: oreja de ratón (Myotis chiloensis), orejudo (Histiotus montanus) and colorado (Lasiurus borealis); False otter (Myocastor coypus), long-haired grass mouse (Abrothrix longipilis), Olive grass mouse (Abrothrix olivaceus), Long-tailed Pygmy rice rat (Oligoryzomys longicaudatus) and Chilean climbing mouse (Irenomys tarsalis.) Other introduced species include the rabbit (Oryctogalus cuniculus), European hare (Lepus capensis), red deer (Cervus elaphus) y wild boar (Sus scrofa)). (Koch, 2000)

The largest range of diversity of species is most easily discernable among the birds of the country. Species associated with habitats are as follows:

Forest and scrubland: Slender-billed parakeet (Enicognathus leptorhychus), Woodpecker (Campephilus magellanicus), Chilean flicker (Colaptes pitius).

Grassland and forest: Red-Backed hawk (Buteo polyosoma), Black vulture (coragyps atratus), Turkey vulture (Cathartes aura), Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus), Chimango caracara (Milvango chimango), Barn Owk (Tyto alba), Green-backed firecrown (Sephanoides galeritus).

Scrubland and Grasslands: Bay-winged Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus), American Kestrel (falco sparverius), Southern Lapwing (Vanellus chilensis), White-browed Ground-tyrant (Muscisaxicola albilora), House Sparrow (Passer domesticus).

Sweet Coastal waters: White-tufted Grebe (Podiceps rolland), Silvery Grebe (Podiceps occipotalis), Great Grebe (Podiceps mayor), Great egret (Casmerodius albus), Buff-necked Ibis (Theristicus caudatus), Black-necked swan (Cygnus melancorphus), Flying steamer duck (Tachyeres patachonicus), Silver Teal (Anas versicolor), red-gartered coot (Fulica armillata), Tinged kingfish (Ceryle torquata), Many-colored Rush-tyrant (Tachurius rubrigasta).

Sea Coast: Kelp goose (Chloephaga hybrida), Bahama Pintail (Anas bahamenis), Black oystercatcher (Haematopus ater), Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes), Chilean Pelican (Pelecanus thagus), sandpipers, snipes, albatross, petrels, gulls and terns. (Koch, 2000)

Sealions (Order pinnipedia) and families of the occasionally seen tonina dolphin (Order cetaceous) are non-bird species also associated with this environment. The rivers are rich in introduced species such as Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Brown Trout (Salmo trutta fario), Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta.) Such species have not only become a cornerstone of the region’s salmon industry but also of great value to the tourism revolving around the fly-fishing industry.

Autochthonous fish species within Chilean national waters are conger eel (Genypterus spec), Patagonian blennie (Eleginops maclovinus), and mackerel. King Crab (Lithodes antarctica), clams (Ameghinomya antiqua), Mussels (Mytilus chilensis) y baby mussels (Aulacomya ater) among others.
