Blue Benitoite

Found only in San Benito County

San Benito Parks Recreation Trails

My name is Bennie Benitoite. 

I am a “Big-Eared Kangaroo Rat”. My soft fur is tan on my back and white on my tummy. I am famous for my BIG round ears and long tuft tail. I can grow up to 13 inches from the tip of my nose to the end of my tail. I have made San Benito County my home because it has warm and sunny hillsides.

The very special blue gem I am holding is called “Benitoite” which is unique like me. Both of us are only found in San Benito County, and is the California State Gem.

I love parks and trails and all they have to offer the great people of San Benito County and I would love for you to explore the many opportunities available to become one of my buddies.

I am very proud of San Benito County and all it has to offer and I want you to share it with me.
Let’s explore all of the great parks San Benito County has to offer.
