Exciting news! We have been getting some reports of a mountain lion sighted in Griffith Park. The @SantaMonicaMtns biologists have been alerted and are investigating.
Please give the cat space if you see him-we are trying to avoid for now people trying to photograph him -lights and sounds from cameras could impact this cat’s behavior as we don’t know if he is as comfortable in front of the cameras as P-22. And even P-22 would avoid cameras as well. If you do see him, please let us know as this will help the researchers. He is not collared.
If this cat is confirmed and becomes part of the study, the National Park Service is at the point in their numbering system that he could be named P-122!
Very exciting to contemplate another mountain lion may be calling Griffith Park home! Long live P-22!
Thank you to Vlad for the photos and videos and for caring about our mountain lions.
