P-22, L.A. celebrity mountain lion, euthanized due to severe injuries
Angelenos can’t help but see themselves in P-22. He’s carved out a life in a crowded city. And though he’s still handsome for his advanced age, he’s terminally single.
“Crossing the border, being persecuted in some areas of the country — people feel a connection with that,” said Miguel Ordeñana, the scientist who first discovered P-22, in a 2022 interview. On Saturday, Bonham noted P-22’s status as an environmental icon and said he hoped the cat’s death would serve as a reminder to Angelenos that wild animals deserve the freedom to roam and coexist with humans.
“His story of being isolated and trapped is what really got people to realize why a crossing like that was needed, more than any scientific paper could,” Pratt said. “He changed the world for his kind.”About two years after arriving in the park, P-22 appeared on trail-camera footage looking gaunt, his tail as thin as a pipe cleaner. The NPS trapped and treated him with topical medications and vitamin K injections, then released him.
P-22, who became the face of an international campaign to save California’s threatened puma population, has died. He roamed the L.A. hills for a decade.
