Credit: National Park Service/Flickr Los Angeles is one of only two megacities—Mumbai, India, is the other—where large predatory cats live among us, and they're closer to human development than you might think. Mountain lions are rarely seen, but they occasionally prowl near human habitats, according to a study by UCLA and the National Park Service published today in PLOS One. The research, conducted in and around the Santa Monica Mountains, is the first of its kind to investigate where mountain lions like to hunt in highly urbanized areas. Using locations identified by GPS radio collars and field observations, researchers determined the favorite hunting grounds of the region's mountain lions. They found that males tend to stake out woodlands near creeks and rivers. Females, on the other hand, made kills a little less than a mile away, on average, from human development. Females probably choose such areas to avoid males, which can be deadly to them and their kittens, said John Benson, the study's lead author and a wildlife biologist at UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability.
