Tragic news: Three California mountain lions have been killed by vehicle strikes within just six months — all on the same highway. The fatalities include a mother, who left behind two orphaned cubs, and just months later, one of those cubs. These tragedies underscore the deep need for more wildlife crossings and wildlife friendly infrastructure in California's urban wild. “We can make things better for them and for us by getting more wildlife crossings on our roads, by implementing fencing appropriately and really planning our roads and development in ways that are more wildlife friendly so that we can coexist,” said Tiffany Yap, Urban Wildlands Science Director for the Center. We’re urgently working to save these iconic cats and improve their wildlife connectivity. #UrbanWild #CaliforniaMountainLion #WildlifeConnectivity #CaliforniaWildlife [Video Description: A mountain lion walks on a fallen log in a forest.
