Episode description
#23: The largest wildlife crossing in the WORLD is being built right here in Los Angeles. It'll cross over 10 lanes of the 101 freeway - the deadliest road for mountain lions - to connect the Santa Monica Mountains with the Simi Hills. Today, HTLA host Brian De Los Santos meets up with Miguel Ordenaña, the guy who discovered one of LA's most famous mountain lions. They talk about what this crossing will mean for this city, and what it takes for projects like these to break ground.
Guest: Miguel Ordenaña, community science manager at the Natural History Museum.
