These pictures, taken using a remote camera in the backyard of a resident in Sullivan Canyon off of Sunset Blvd. (and near Topanga State Park), just go to show that State Park boundaries have no meaning to wildlife. If a backyard is inviting, wildlife will use it as an extension of natural protected areas.

This camera is placed by a resident near Sullivan Canyon behind his house. He is an enthusiastic supporter of our research and was eager to see what wildlife he has in his backyard. He's gotten great results so far! Check it out!

Topanga was the first area we trapped as part of the extended Ph.D. research done by Laurel Klein. Dirt Mulholland turned out to be the most productive trapping regions of the entire park! Check back later for more pictures.
