P-22

I've long wanted to blog a tribute to urban cougar P-22, the SoCal Puma (American Wild Cougar, Mountain Lion) who lived in Griffith Park at least since February 2012. I have no wise or poetic words of my own, so I'm posting pictures and tributes from others.

• This head shot is from Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, 23 April 2019.

• Large Map showing scale of P-22's range

• P-22's location in Griffith Park

• P-22 billboard!

• P-22 graffiti!

• Poster from Tongva artist Weshoyot Alvitre

• From LA on the Move at Union Station last October. The exhibit explores how wildlife and people travel through shared landscapes and follow paths that overlap; a picture of P-22 was essential.

• Tribute from Mountain Lion Foundation

• Tribute from PBS SoCal

• Tribute from Save LA Cougars
