One example of a symbiotic relationship in the chaparralis the mutualism that exists between the manzanita plant and the coyotes and foxes that eat its seeds. The animals are provided with food and the plant's genes are dispersed through the animal's poop. Therefore, both organisms benefit from the relationship.

The chaparral biome is a part of each continent and consists of various types of terrain including mountains and plains. It is often confused with the desert biome because they share many similarities such as both being hot and dry. The chaparral biome receives more rainfall per year than the desert biome.

The average rainfall is 10 to 17 inches a year. During the winter, the temperature can get as low as 30° F and the summers can get up to 100° F. The average temperature in the chaparral biome is 64° F.
