Wild "creatures" of the San G's
Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2011 8:04 pm
While not as flashy as a mountain lion, these creatures are unique to the San Gabriels and also hard to catch on camera. They howl and bark loudly, but in reality have very little bite.
Once thought to be on the verge of extinction, they have been showing up on the trail more frequently in the daylight. They are very chatty and not afraid of humans. They yearn for the golden era of hiking, where no one posted trip reports about abandoned mines, or trespassed. At night, they do not sleep, but instead lurk around place to place, trying to find out what everyone else is up to.
If you catch one on camera, you are lucky.
