Officials said it is unlikely he will be released back into the wild, and could potentially be euthanized depending on further medical results.
Medical tests will continue Wednesday on P-22, one day after wildlife officials gave a disheartening report on the condition of Griffith Park's famed mountain lion.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife said the woman was protecting her dog from P-22 when she was hurt. Neighbors said the big cat mauled her and she had to get thirty stitches. P-22 was captured Monday morning in Los Feliz by National Park Service and CDFW officials. Wildlife officials had announced last week they planned to capture the cat in response to recent attacks on a pair of pet dogs as well as other behavioral red flags that suggested the animal may be in some distress.
Deana Clifford, a senior wildlife veterinarian with CDFW, said a facial injury like the one seen on P-22 raises concerns about a possible additional head trauma. She said experts are also awaiting the results of additional tests to determine if the animal is suffering from other ailments. He said the team involved in such a choice would include CDFW officials, the National Park Service, veterinarians and possibly"some folks from the outside to make sure that we have various perspectives fully understood."
He is believed to be about 11 years old, making him the oldest cat in the NPS' study of Southland lions. He was initially captured and outfitted with a tracking collar in 2012. At the time of his last capture, he weighed 123 pounds.
