Wow. I'm surprised to learn that over 100 cats were collared around LA. As far as I was aware, there were/are only like 7 or 8 lions in the Angeles National Forest. Great to hear that they're significantly more numerous than I'd known. I spent a lot of time in the ANF while I lived there and never saw one or found a kill and only once found tracks. Anecdata but I feel it supports the assertion that they just plain don't like to be around humans or spend too much time in the 'frontcountry'. Here in AZ, I find tracks regularly.
