Mountain lion, bobcat in Santa Monica Mountains study die after ingesting rat poison

Mountain lion, bobcat in Santa Monica Mountains study die after ingesting rat poison | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
A young mountain lion and a bobcat that were both part of wildlife studies in the Santa Monica Mountains have died after ingesting rat poison, National Park Service biologists said Thursday.

The death of the female bobcat, known as B-732, is just the second from the effects of anticoagulant rodenticides among the species in the study’s 24-year history, and the first in 23 years, according to an NPS news release.

Her carcass was found on June 20, beneath an oak tree in an Agoura Hills neighborhood. A necropsy found brodifacoum, bromadiolone and diphacinone in the bobcat’s liver; the compounds included first- and second- generation poisons, according to the park service.

I remember reading about the case study for the mountain lions for consbio!

I remember talking to farmers about this and they said they couldn't use poison to kill the rats anymore and had to use other ways of dealing with the rat problem

Sophia, im so glad someting like this is going to be so close to us, it would be super beneficial considering how dense our urban areas are. i just hope they are wise aboutt he plants chosen to populate this area, and that they go with resilient natives, especially considering the recent storms and erosion caused by it.
