Flora and Fauna of Portland Oregon

Portland Oregon has a wide range of flora and fauna that call Portland home. Whether it be small as the Oregon White Truffle or as big and majestic as the Bold Eagle, Portland has a bit of everything to make the child in you smile. But be aware that these animals may seem cute and breath taking but they are wild and will react if they feel threaten, so stay a fair distance back where you can appreciate them and give them the respect they desire. Down the bottom are three key animals that you may see on our walks, so keep a close eye out.
