"In terms of flora and fauna, variety is also the rule: the neo-volcanic sierras are covered with pine and oak forests, and the main species residing within the area include white-tail deer, raccoon, squirrel, fox and mountain lion; the southern Pacific coast is usually lined with coconut palm trees, and inhabited by caiman, peccary, duck, tiger cat and spider monkey; while the Jalisco peaks report abundance of subtropical thicket, pine and oak forests and low jungle, very similar to the plant species found across the Jalisco sierras; and finally the central valleys contain a predominance of licorice, mezquite and agave, and animal species like the weasel, wild boar, coyote and wolf. In the meantime, the soil at the sierras and shallows is usually destined for the agricultural production of corn, wheat, bean and sorghum"(searched in https://www.explorandomexico.com/state/13/Jalisco/geography/)
