Park rangers have found four furry cougar kittens living with their mother in the Simi Hills — the first den authorities have found in a small patch of terrain between the Santa Susana and Santa Monica mountain ranges, officials said.

“Possible causes of death to this seemingly healthy animal include rodenticide poisoning or perhaps a fight with another male, although there were no signs of a struggle,” Park Service spokeswoman Kate Kuykendall said in a statement.

I love the idea of building wildlife bridges across major freeways.

...but then I wonder how long it will be before the homeless make camp on them and make them useless to wildlife?

It would not take long, as the freeways are a favorite hangout for addicts. Sleep there, hold a sign for drug money at the exits and party all night. Makes no sense to build public improvements that can't be used the way they intended because of tolerance for vagrants. Yet look at a downtown in any major west coast city and that's what you see in the nice public areas.

Eight mountain lions are alive and moving based on GPS collars, apparently surviving the wildfires, according to officials with the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Hope they can locate the other 5.

That's fantastic considering almost the entire mountain range was on my fire one my favourite Mtn Ranges.

the concept seems great, protect LA's wildlife, unless it's your sister in law whose head is in its vice grip as they drag you away to be eaten alive.
Um.....aren't the humans the hazards?
