    Live Restricted Animals.
    (a) It shall be unlawful to import, transport, or possess
    alive animals restricted in subsection (c) below except under
    permit issued by the Department of Fish and Game. Permits
    may be issued by the department as specified herein and for
    purposes designated in Section 671.1 subject to the conditions
    and restrictions designated by the department. Except
    for mammals listed in Fish and Game Code Section 3950 or
    live aquatic animals requiring a permit pursuant to Fish and
    Game Code Section 2271, no permit is required by this section
    for any animal being imported, transported, or possessed
    pursuant to any other permit issued by the department. Cities
    and counties may also possession or require a permit for these
    and any other species not requiring a state permit.
    (b) The commission has determined the below listed animals
    are not normally domesticated in this state. Mammals
    listed to prevent the depletion of wild populations and to provide
    for animal welfare are termed “welfare animals”, and are
    designated by the letter “W”. Those species listed because
    they pose a threat to native wildlife, the agriculture interests of
    the state or to public health or safety are termed “detrimental
    animals” and are designated by the letter “D”. The department
    shall include the list of welfare and detrimental wild animals
    as part of DFG MANUAL NO. 671 IMPORTATION, TRANSPORTATION
    AND POSSESSION OF RESTRICTED SPECIES,
