Wildlife advocates have been concerned about the safety of a young mountain lion that wandered across busy Highway 101 into the town of Tiburon.
TIBURON -- For the past few days, wildlife advocates have been concerned about the safety of a young mountain lion that wandered across busy Highway 101 into the town of Tiburon. It appears he is now safe but the incident shows how much more of a threat man is to mountain lions, than the other way around.
"We managed to capture him just at the time that he's leaving his mom and -- off he goes -- and just does this incredible journey, like sightseeing in California," Dr. Martins said. "Between one and three in the morning, he crosses Highway 101 and then walks all the way down to the bottom of the peninsula," Dr. Martins said as he traced the route on his computer screen."Since we've collared him in March 2022, he's crossed 101 five times," Dr. Martins said."It's dangerous. One of the biggest threats to mountain lions in California is car strikes.
"He has no options," Dr. Martins said."As a dispersal cat, he's in an area where there are these highways and he's forced to move there because there would be adult mountain lions that don't want him in their territory."
