A mountain lion was found dead on the 405 Freeway near the Getty Center. The cause of death is still unknown.
A mountain lion was found dead next to the center divider of the 405 Freeway on Thursday afternoon, the second time a deceased puma has been discovered on a Southern California freeway in a month. The mountain lion was discovered next to the center divider between the Getty Center and Skirball Center Drive freeway exit about 2:30 p.m., said Austin Chavez, spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol's West Los Angeles office.
The cause of the animal's death is under investigation. Chavez said the officer at the scene said there were no indications that the mountain lion suffered from blunt force trauma from a motor collision, but a vehicle collision wasn't entirely ruled out. Officials with the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area said the mountain lion did not have a collar and was not part of the pack that the National Park Service studies.
