senoritafishMountain Lion Makes its Way to the 405 Freeway
On that trip up to Monterey in January, I believe I mentioned seeing a doe in the same area, very close to the freeway in the Sepulveda Pass, right below the Getty Center, sort of a penninsula into a very urban area. So the cats are staying close to their food source, seems like. I just hope they can avoid the human/cat interactions that have happened here in Orange County where I live.
For other cats, here's a blog entry from a few months ago by a senior volunteer at the Aquarium of the Pacific, who saw a family of bobcats in the nature reserve near UC Irvine (and here's accompanying video).
I'm floored how close these bobcats came to people - usually if they're in the area, you don't know it.
