P-61 gained fame when he crossed the 405 Freeway in July, the first collared cat to do so. He died on the same freeway two months later.
When P-61 was killed earlier this month crossing the 405 Freeway, the mountain lion was likely fleeing from another big cat protecting its territory, based on video surveillance.
In a separate video sequence a minute later, one of the big cats is seen running quickly south, adjacent to the 405 Freeway. At the same time, an uncollared mountain lion walks briskly toward Sepulveda Boulevard under the 405. Seemingly scared by brightly lit construction nearby, the animal then turns abruptly and heads toward the other mountain lion.The 4-year-old male had made it across at least five lanes of traffic, but was struck in the southbound lanes about 4 a.m.
“This is what male mountain lions instinctively do, and it did not end up in P-61’s favor,” he said. “The difference is that this is real-life mountain lion behavior playing out in an urban and fragmented landscape that is complicated by busy roads and development.”Seth Riley, the wildlife branch chief for the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, called the video “incredibly lucky.
