On the east side of Long Beach, along the San Gabriel River, is the 800-acre El Dorado East Regional Park, first established in 1955. The park has picnic areas, three fishing ponds, a golf course and other attractions. My favorite is the 105-acre El Dorado Nature Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Great Place To Wander<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With more than two miles of trails, lakes, varied vegetation, a cool interpretive center and turtles<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great place to wander in a semi-wild but friendly natural environment. Enjoy the sites and smells, the wildflowers, and assorted small animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humans<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are approximately 1.5 billion animals, for every one human on the planet. Even though we are greatly outnumbered we are still the most dangerous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
