This is a bobcat that used a wildlife exit, our newest mitigation structure, to escape the right-of-way along State Highway 100 in south Texas to return to the habitat side of the chain-link fence. This bobcat used our wildlife exits within the first month of them being installed!

This photo was taken by one of our Reconyx camera traps at a wildlife crossing structure. A trio of coyotes was spooked by something as they were about to enter the crossing structure and produced this comical image resembling something you might see from a Wile E. Coyote cartoon!

Species: Tibetan antelopes (Pantholops hodgsonii)
Where the animals are going: They are migrating from Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve to Kekexili National Nature Reserve.

Significance: The herds are crossing the underpass successfully, which indicate the underpass can be used by Tibetan antelops during migration period.
