The Green Hollow Center hosts a large variety of birds and animals.  In addition to the species listed below, a mountain lion was reportedly seen nearby.  Seven wild Eurasian boars, an invasive species and apparently the descendants of escapees from a wild game reserve some years ago, have been caught on the property, one weighing 300 pounds.  A herd of four-horned feral goats have been spotted on a few occasions.
