Wildlife supporters will gather in Griffith Park for the eighth annual P-22 Day Festival, honoring the famed mountain lion.
A final necropsy conducted on famed Southland mountain lion P-22 determined the cat was suffering from "multiple severe injuries" and chronic conditions that limited his ability to function in the wild, state wildlife officials said.Wildlife supporters will gather in Griffith Park Sunday for the eighth annual P-22 Day Festival, honoring the famed mountain lion who crossed two freeways to make his home in Griffith Park before passing away in December 2022.
The P-22 Day Festival is organized by the National Wildlife Federation's #SaveLACougars campaign, and is part of a series of events celebrating Urban Wildlife Week. His exploits were frequently documented over the years as he was captured on home security cameras while moving through the area. He was most famed for successfully crossing both the 405 and 101 freeways, making his home in the Griffith Park area.
Defying expectations, he persisted for more than 10 years in the smallest home range that has ever been recorded for an adult male mountain lion.
