BB-12 (black Bear)
BB-12 ( – July 20, 2023) was a wild American black bear who resided in the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. He was the first of his kind to be GPS-tracked in the area. Life Scientists believe BB-12 originated from the Santa Susana Mountains, where the nearest black bear population to him was located, and they also believe he was the first resident bear in the Santa Monica Mountains in more than twenty years. BB-12 first came to the public's attention in 2021, when a Santa Monica Mountain resident posted a photograph of him on Reddit. For the next two years, BB-12 showed up on multiple cameras across the western half of the range, and in April 2023, the National Park Service captured and outfitted him with a GPS tracker.

American Black Bear
The American black bear (''Ursus americanus''), or simply black bear, is a species of medium-sized bear which is Endemism, endemic to North America. It is the continent's smallest and most widely distributed bear species. It is an omnivore, with a diet varying greatly depending on season and location. It typically lives in largely forested areas; it will leave forests in search of food and is sometimes attracted to human communities due to the immediate availability of food. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists the American black bear as a least-concern species because of its widespread distribution and a large population, estimated to be twice that of all other bear species combined. Along with the brown bear (''Ursus arctos''), it is one of the two modern bear species not considered by the IUCN to be globally threatened with extinction. Taxonomy and evolution The American black bear is not closely related to the brown bear or polar bear, though all ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Conejo Grade
The Conejo Grade is a 7% grade incline on a section of US 101 (the Ventura Freeway). Also known as the Camarillo Grade, it links Thousand Oaks and cities of the Conejo Valley, with Camarillo and the cities on the Oxnard Plain. With a summit elevation of , California Highway Patrol inspection stations for trucks are situated on both sides of the highway at the upper terminus of the grade. The Conejo Mountain has functioned as a barrier by separating Ventura County into East County and West County. Historically, the mountain was known for its many jackrabbits and prickly pear cacti. The surrounding area was formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, a rare geological formation in Southern California. Within the traditional lands of the Chumash people, they had a trading trail through the pass, and it later served as a trading route for farmers and their wagons down the Conejo Grade to the Hueneme wharf. The grade experienced improvements by the newly established St ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
