California's giant wildlife crossing gets early animal visitor
Original: Ahead of opening, Calif.'s giant wildlife crossing welcomes unofficial first visitor
California's massive wildlife crossing over a freeway has recorded an unofficial first animal visitor ahead of its official opening, according to SFGATE. The crossing, designed to let wildlife safely traverse busy highways in the Los Angeles area, is not yet open, but monitoring apparently captured an animal using it early. The early use is being taken as a promising sign for the project's goal of reconnecting fragmented habitats.
Why now: The project is a high-profile conservation effort, and early evidence of wildlife using it ahead of opening is encouraging news
