made of shrubs and bushes cows and goats are an important stakes a symbol and of source and food but lions sometimes get into the corals in times of drought the natural barrier can dry out so the messiah have gone on the offensive the predators themselves are becoming prey the difference is that today beyond just a spear people can pick up poisons they can pick up. that means that they can kill a lot more animals in one go and so instead of just losing one lion in a conflict incident we can lose the entire prize up to $1015.00 animals at a time. experts estimates that around 37000 lions lived in the african savannas 2 decades ago since then the number in africa has dropped by 40 percent and put in lions on the list of species considered vulnerable to extension the main reason is the loss of habitat and lack of prey but on open 7 as well lion still roam poaching

what do we owe mountain lions, what do we owe to other species of plants and animals?auly: man-made structures act as barriers for lots of species in urban areas. but some aspects of our infrastructure actually allow non-native species to thrive. the big moment for thinking about water in los angeles is 1913. once you hahave permanent water on the landscape, lots of non-native species, if they get introduced, can now make it. so, what's happened is that non-native species that get introduced to southern california, that are maybe from a more tropical place, now can make it here because there's much more water. and one of the ways that a lot of these species are coming in is actually via the nursery plant trade. [a[animals c calling] things like brown anoles a and greeeen anoles and various species of geckos and now a thing calalled the coqui frog.
