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 ...
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.
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.

[2] On the other side of the tunnel, the separate line from Davos Platz forms a junction with the Albula Railway just as both lines arrive in Filisur. Shortly before reaching that junction point, passengers on ...
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
