Mountain Lion Ecology in the East Bay

Wildlife biologist Jim "Doc" Hale presents information on the abundance of mountain lions in the East Bay and their role in the ecosystems they inhabit as well as personal observations and images of these shy carnivores captured on wildlife cameras.
In the Bay Area, we share habitat with mountain lions, but most of us will never see one. Doc Hale has been studying their presence (or absence) in Contra Costa County for over 48 years through surveys, observation, and images of mountain lions captured on wildlife cameras throughout our area.
