The Palos Verdes Hills are a low mountain range on the southern coast of Los Angeles County, California.〔 They form the Palos Verdes Peninsula region of Greater Los Angeles. The Palos Verdes Hills are the landed end of the Channel Islands of California, a mountains formation in the Transverse Ranges System. ==Portuguese Bend== The Portuguese Bend Landslide area of the Palos Verdes Hills is geologically unstable and is unsuitable for building. However it is a natural research laboratory for the study of island biogeography and evolutionary ecology. The geographical location and geological history of the hills make the remaining coastal sage scrub habitat at Portuguese Bend extremely valuable for ecological and other scientific reasons. The Palos Verdes Peninsula, which was an island with the Palos Verdes Hills in recent geological time, has close floral and faunal similarities to the Channel Islands. A species of the succulent live-forever, Bright green dudleya or ''Dudleya virens'', is endemic to the Channel Islands and the Palos Verdes Peninsula
