In addition to the chinchillas, other small mammals (mainly rodents), 2 fox species and felines like the Puma live within the reserve and surrounding hills. Actually only about 1/2 of the wild chinchillas are located within the reserve boundaies. The other half live on private and communally owned lands.

The reserve is home to a number of species of birds, including Chilean Mockingbird, Chilean Tinamou, Long-tailed Meadowlark, Moustached Turca and Harris's Hawk. Owl species inhabiting the park include Burrowing Owl, Austral Pygmy-owl and Great Horned Owl. The Andean condor can also be seen in the area.
