National Parks Traveler Podcast | California Mountain Lions

Mountain lions are an incredibly charismatic animal on landscapes within, and adjacent to, the National Park System. But they're seldom seen because of their nocturnal tendencies.   There recently was a new report that focused on a comprehensive estimate of mountain lions in California, and the number is much smaller than many had thought it was.   To discuss California's mountain lion population, and efforts to protect that population, our guest today is Dr. Veronica Yovovich, conservation scientist at Panthera, the global wild cat conservation organization.
