    the manmade crossing should provide safe passage for mountain lions, bobcats, deer, lizards, coyotes, snakes and ants

    🤔

    Ah yes, mountain lions and deer finally living in peace & harmony

    or maybe there will be a sign posted PREDATOR/PREY SHENANIGANS PROHIBITED IN CROSSING

      Having those predators captured inside a smaller area between major roads whith no safe way of getting out, puts a lot of stress on them to find food. This in turn can make them much more dangerous to humans but also other prey animals. Making a safe crossings will give the predators a chance to expand their territory to a more natural size. Similar examples can be found in India with tigers being caught inside a major road network getting really close to humans.

        This comment section (not you) is full of a ton of cynics that have clearly never taken a conservation ecology course in their lives.
