[1] The crossing is particularly critical for the mountain lions of the Santa Monica Mountains, which have declined and become genetically isolated [2] because the Ventura Freeway prevents them from moving between the mountains and the Simi Hills to the north.

The bridge is covered with native vegetation, including trees and shrubs, which is intended to replicate a native forest ecosystem enticing to the animals. [2] There is a fence on the bridge to prevent certain large animals such as sambar deer and wild boar from crossing into Bukit Timah, which is too small and fragile to sustain them. [ 2 ]
