Mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains

The Santa Monica Mountains mountain range, part of the Transverse Ranges in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, can currently support 10 to 15 mountain lions (Puma concolor), despite much of the range being in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The range has been home to mountain lions since prior to the arrival of Europeans, although their continued survival is threatened by several factors, the largest of which is the isolation of their habitat by freeways.
