A mountain lion, found bleeding on a freeway, had to be euthanized, state wildlife officials said. 'Sadly, this happens a lot in California, especially early morning and evening when wildlife are most active,' officials said.
The animal was found in the center divide area of the freeway near Applegate at around 6:30 a.m., officials said.
The study noted that in recent years, that rate has declined. "This decline suggests populations may be gradually declining as rates of roadkill match population trends," researchers said.
