While encouraging that Florida's 100-200 Cougars are "busting at the seams in the habitat that they occupy..............truly disappointing that the highway in question does not have the necessary culverts and wildlife crossings necessary to get F.concolor through to a connective zone that would lead to additional sizeable opene space territory where they could spread out, be fruitful and multiply............perhaps an alternative solution is to capture and relocate a % of the population to other Southeastern locations along the Appalachian Spine...........all the way up to West Virginia..........allowing for multiple and in some cases connective populations to fulfill their biological top down trophic place in the food chain.
