Mountain lions in Santa Monica Mountains face extinction, study says
Mountain lions in Santa Monica Mountains face extinction, study says LOS ANGELES - A population of mountain lions living in the Santa Monica Mountains faces possible extinction in the near future due to inbreeding, according to a study released Tuesday. In the study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, wildlife researchers from the National Park Service, UCLA, UC Davis and Utah State University gave the lions a 99.7 percent chance of extinction over the next 50 years unless more lions become part of the gene pool. http://www.dailynews.com/environment...ion-study-says |
