of mountain lion Gained media attention for forays from urban habitats Griffith Park In Los Angeles, caught soon.
California Regional Secretary, National Wildlife Federation Beth Pratt issued a statement earlier this week, P-22the famous lion, who recently changed his behavior, is caught and examined. A decision is then made about the next steps.
The P-22 has recently increased its presence in densely populated areas outside the Griffith Park domain. He attacked two Chihuahua dogs and killed one.
“The P-22 has always been in unprecedented situations,” Pratt said in a statement. “In one of the most populous cities in the world, no puma has ever lived in an urban environment like this. Living beyond and may now be showing signs of distress, he has always been affected by the highways that have isolated him, but as the P-22 ages Challenges associated with life on Earth’s island appear to be on the rise, and scientists have noted recent changes in his behavior.”
Pratt said mountain lion experts from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Areas National Park Service (NPS) are planning to catch the P-22. After a health assessment, the veterinarian will determine his next steps.
“The people involved in his capture and evaluation are some of the world’s leading wildlife biologists who have studied P-22 and other pumas for decades. I believe,” Pratt said.
She added a warning to the public not to try to help with the capture and assessment.
P-22 has lived in Griffith Park, the largest urban park in the United States, for over ten years. It helped or hindered him. Although his survival isn’t challenged by juvenile lions as is usually the case in the wild, the P-22 is able to travel on busy highways where there are no land barriers that allow him to reach a wider range. is isolated by
“The P-22 gave us a lot,” Pratt said. “He was a beloved wild mountain lion who survived against all odds. Trapped in Griffith Park after a perilous journey on two of the country’s busiest highways. His plight showed the world how toxic our roads are to mountain lions and all wildlife.”
The famous P-22 mountain lion (actually a male cougar) has been sighted in the populous and hipster part of Silver Lake, a residential and commercial district in Los Angeles. The area is very urban and heavily trafficked, and from the P-22’s usual Griffith Park about a mile from his domain he is a mile and a half away, where he usually sticks to alpine terrain, Rarely seen by humans.
The 12-year-old P-22 may be considered a dangerous wildlife, but his celebrity status is unquestioned, and neighbors in the area report his sightings with something of glee.
