P22, The cat that changed America was LA's favorite Mountain Lion. He was the most charismatic, beloved, famous and well chronicled puma. He lived his extraordinary life as a solitary male marooned in eight square miles of Griffith Park, in tandem with one of the worlds largest cities. He helped galvanize interest in urban wildlife and spur city dwellers to be advocates for habitat conservation.

Memories

Hayley Moss

In 2005 I had the incredible fortune to spend a day with the Mountain Lion National Park Service scientists, in the Santa Monica Mountains, where I lived. It was an eye-opening adventure, learning how vulnerable these magnificent creatures were. Their proximity to urban sprawl was driving them to cross major freeways and eventually killing them. Along with the overuse of rodenticide in the ecosystem. I fell in love with these amazing cats. When I heard about P22, I cheered him on, for his amazing journey. I was heartbroken, as all of us were to learn of his passing. He will live on in all of our hearts and hopefully teach us the importance of protecting these beautiful cats.
