the vice president of wildlife conservation for the national wildlife federation joins me now.elcome. good to have you here. >> hi, good to be on. martha: this is an extraordinary story. this animal was spotted, and everyone assumed it must have gotten out of a zoo or something. what would cause this animal to walk, literally, and how did he survive such an extraordinary distance? is. >> well, these animals are born to roam. if you're a male, you're out there searching for a mate, you're looking for good habitat, and the definition starts with a little bit of cover and a lot of prey. they're looking for food, and so, you know, it's interesting where this animal ended up, in connecticut, it's very rich in deer, its main prey, and it's got a lot of good forest cover. this is an area, the northeastern united states, that has recovered from near total deforestation roughly a century ago, now pretty good habitat for a lion. martha: it's sad. it was hit by an suv after making it all the way across this huge swath of the country. and as you say, you know, it was probably just looking

closing a quarter of national wildlife refuges across the country, affecting places like the guadeloupe dunes near santa maria, slashing support for federal programs that support our outstanding natural areas like the piedras blancas light station. opening up protected and sensitive areas in california's national forest to offroad vehicle use, putting places like los padres national forest at risk and blocking the protection of wilderness quality land. as the bill stands, it would bar new listings of threatened and endangered species as well as critical habitats. it would gut the fund that preserves irreplaceable land and waters. under this disaster of a bill, the lwcs will be reduced to its lowest level in its 40-year history and who will benefit from this cut? not the american taxpayer, because this is paid for through offshore drilling revenues. instead, communities will lose jobs. but this assault isn't limited to lands and wildlife this dirty legislation is also littered with riders that seek to gut the protections of the clean water an clean air act such as preventing the e.p.a. from strengthening limitations on polluting storm wate
