A lion on top of a deer on Mulholland Highway in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area! This is P-23, a young female who has recently dispersed from mom. Of the 400+ kills our biologists have hiked in on, this is the only one they’ve seen right on a road, so it’s quite a rare sight! She dragged the deer into the dense brush shortly after this photo was taken for a little more privacy. Thanks to Irv Nilsen for taking this amazing shot early Sunday a.m. Contrary to some reports, this was a remote section of Mulholland Hwy and not near the Rock Store or homes. Thanks to Ranger Kate K. for alerting us to this amazing photo!
