The bridge is meant to allow animals to circulate through and thrive in habitats that are fragmented by human development. [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.
Wildlife crossing is the umbrella term encompassing underpasses, overpasses, ecoducts, green bridges, amphibian/small mammal tunnels, and wildlife viaducts (Bank et al. 2002). All of these structures are designed to provide semi-natural corridors above and below roads so that animals can safely cross without endangering themselves and motorists ...
In Europe, these tunnels are sometimes referred to as "herp tunnels" the name for the study of amphibians and reptiles: herpetology. The European herp tunnels followed the same design as the Henry Street tunnels: fences and tunnels beneath roads. [12] In Canada the city of Guelph, Ontario, has built tunnels to help reptiles cross roads.
These mammal tracks were left by creatures like carnivorans, peccaries and rhinoceros. Mastodon tracks have also been reported, but may represent misidentifications. [1] 1902. Dinosaur footprints were discovered at Fisher's Quarry, near Graterford, Pennsylvania. These tracks are now classified in the ichnogenus Atreipus. [12] 1903

Combinations of footprints of different species provide clues about the interactions of those species. Even a set of footprints of a single animal gives important clues, as to whether it was bipedal or quadrupedal. In this way, it has been suggested that some pterosaurs, when on the ground, used their forelimbs in an unexpected quadrupedal action.
A fossil burrow of the Palaeocastor beaver.. Burrow fossils are the remains of burrows - holes or tunnels excavated into the ground or seafloor - by animals to create a space suitable for habitation, temporary refuge, or as a byproduct of locomotion preserved in the rock record.
The tunnel of tarps are in place to contain old paint and the blasting material. Workers are giving the old bridge a thorough cleaning as part of a $33.5 million project to repaint the 1955-built ...
