As the recent deaths of the beloved P-22 and another mountain lion in Southern California demonstrated, Golden State roadways are an often fatal obstacle for cougars.

The true total killed by vehicles is almost certainly higher, researchers wrote, because the report does not include cougars killed on city or county roadways.
