Our California Carnivore Project (formerly California Mountain Lion Project) team has some sad news to share: F312, a female GPS collared mountain lion that was nicknamed "Uno" by southern California photographers, died last night after being struck by a vehicle. Valiant efforts to save her life were undertaken by local veterinarian Dr.
Join us in welcoming Dr. Justin Dellinger, the new lead for the California Mountain Lion Project!
He is originally from western North Carolina and grew up in the Appalachian Mountains. He conducted research on red wolf foraging and spatial ecology and gray wolf-prey interactions as part of different graduate programs. He has also worked as a biologist for different tribes doing mountain lion and gray wolf work. More recently, he worked for the California Department of Fish & Wildlife for just over 6 years, where he served as a large carnivore researcher.
Join the Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center for a documentary screening of the 8-part miniseries "California Mountain Lions” at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Admission is free and open to the public.
