We recently had footage of a collared moutain lion on our trail camera in the San Gabriels. We were not aware that there was any entity tracking moutain lions in the San Gabriels (versus Santa Ana/Santa Monica mountains). We tried reading the tag... maybe 2332 but not sure. How do I learn more about this specific moutain lion?
Also, recently another wildlife enthusiast put up cameras in the same canyon we have cameras in. Hello to you, if you're reading this.

This is a radio collar, or just a numbered tag? If this is a part of a scientific study, there will be public papers that talk about the details. Look around on google scholar? Or share the photo?

Google was not much helpful in our search for this specific moutain lion.
Researchers in collaboration with National Park Service is the usual answer.
Santa Monica moutains tagging seems to be using P-## for puma while Santa ana uses F### or M### for female or male. This is our conclusion from posts and articles.
The picture is a bit blurry but we have a hard time seeing a letter.
So where could this one be coming from?
