He looks for his family and emits a dry, croaky roar, but there is no reply.&nbsp; He jogs off down the other side of the hill, farther away from the freeway and deeper into the trees in search of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is how P-22 fills his days, weeks, and months \u2013 searching for food at dawn and dusk, and resting in shade and hidden lairs during the days.&nbsp; One day, he is out searching for food when he smells something strange on the wind, something he hasn\u2019t encountered before. It smells salty and musky.&nbsp; His ears and tail twitch nervously as he scans the nearby brush for a hidden predator.&nbsp; Suddenly he feels a pinch of pain in his shoulder and a rustling of bushes behind him.&nbsp; He turns to attack but his legs are growing heavy and his head is feeling dizzy.&nbsp; As if in slow motion, he sinks down to the ground and rolls on his side.&nbsp; In a few seconds, he is fast asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He wakes hours later, groggy and confused.&nbsp; The sun has shifted in the sky and is nearing the horizon.&nbsp; It is almost dusk. He sits up and instantly feels something thick around his neck.&nbsp; It emits a very low hum and occasional beeps.&nbsp; This bothers him tremendously and he tries to scratch it off with his mighty back paws but it won\u2019t budge. It feels like a snake around his neck and he wishes it would slink away, but it stays latched around his neck, never moving or biting, just beeping.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snake or no snake, he needs to eat and so P-22 roams the hillside and neighborhoods for food and water.&nbsp; There is not much to eat in these new hills on the other side of the freeway.&nbsp; There are lots of buildings and barking animals, hot streets and racing objects \u2013 nothing like the quiet hillsides of his first home.&nbsp; There is much more noise over here and he has to hunt very carefully to get a good meal.&nbsp; And he has discovered that the stars on this mountain ridge \u2013 the ones he saw years ago from the other side of the freeway &#8211; aren\u2019t stars at all but blinking lights on large metal beams.&nbsp; They are not food at all!&nbsp; He doesn\u2019t know what they are, but he likes to sit near them at night and scan the hillside.&nbsp; Sometimes he gazes off into the distance, to the hills of his first home and loving family.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several years pass and soon these new hills are dry.&nbsp; Rodents are scarce and water has evaporated from the canyons.&nbsp; P-22 hasn\u2019t eaten in days and is losing weight.&nbsp; He needs to find something to eat.&nbsp; Slowly, he creeps up a ridge towards a home perched above his lair.&nbsp; He keeps his head and tail down, his powerful haunches inching him forward.&nbsp; His large yellow eyes scan the hillside for any sign of movement. Closer and closer he prowls to the home.&nbsp; And then he smells something \u2013 a mixture of sweet and savory.&nbsp; He follows the scent and comes upon a small container of what smells like food.&nbsp; Without thinking, he gulps it down in huge mouthfuls, finishing the meal in a matter of seconds.&nbsp; Just then, a dog starts barking, alerted by the cougar\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P-22 dashes down the hillside and zig zags into the brush, coming to rest by his hidden lair.&nbsp; He sits down and licks his paws before rubbing them across his whiskers.&nbsp; A few minutes later, his stomach clenches and his insides rumble.&nbsp; Something is not right.&nbsp; The pain in his belly intensifies, turning into a fiery burn and P-22 rolls onto his side, letting out a low moan.&nbsp; Soon he sinks into a fitful sleep.&nbsp; In his dreams, he smells that salty-musky scent again and he feels himself floating on air.&nbsp; He is moving \u2013 he can tell by the air brushing his whiskers \u2013 but his legs are not moving.&nbsp; He hears strange sounds and senses light behind his heavy eyelids but he sinks silently back into a deep sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When P-22 awakes from his dreams it is dawn and the air is cool.&nbsp; He is inside his lair.&nbsp; He does not know how much time has passed but he remembers feeling sick and then falling asleep.&nbsp; He gets up slowly to start another round of hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so the years pass and P-22 sleeps, hunts, and lounges in the Hollywood Hills.&nbsp; He is the apex predator on this small patch of turf high above the freeway next to the stars.&nbsp; It has been years since he has seen another cougar and he wonders where they have all gone.&nbsp; Is he the only one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then one winter night ten years later, P-22 is walking along a narrow road on the top of the mountain.&nbsp; The evening is dark and quiet. Suddenly, he hears a roar and sees a flash of light.&nbsp; He tries to jump out of the way but the roaring beast is too fast for him.&nbsp; He feels a sharp pain and is thrown into the air, then tumbles down an embankment.&nbsp; P-22 closes his eyes and fades into sleep.&nbsp; The next day he wakes up sore and in pain.&nbsp; It takes a long time to stand and make his way up the embankment.&nbsp; He wanders aimlessly down the street, too tired and hurt to hunt.&nbsp; His only option is to go towards the homes to find some food.&nbsp; Shortly thereafter, he smells that salty-musky scent and this time sees several men standing across the street.&nbsp; They aim a large stick at him.&nbsp; He feels a familiar prick in his shoulder and a sudden heaviness.&nbsp; He drops down on his haunches and rolls onto his side, quickly fading into sleep.&nbsp; P-22 never opens his eyes again but in his dreams he is racing towards his mother and siblings.&nbsp; He is finally home!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has been the story of P-22, a real mountain lion, or puma, who lived in the Santa Monica Mountains in California. &nbsp; He was born in the western Santa Monica Mountain range around 2010.&nbsp; His father was named P-001 but nothing is known about his mother.&nbsp; At some point in his early life, he crossed two major freeways \u2013 the 405 and the 101 &#8211; ending up in the Eastern Santa Monica Mountains around Griffith Park and the Hollywood Hills.&nbsp; His territory was very small \u2013 only 9 square miles &#8211; the smallest ever recorded for an adult mountain lion \u2013 and he found himself trapped alone in this populated area surrounded by busy freeways.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this time, local biologists had been studying mountain lions and in March 2012, they caught and sedated P-22, then attached a tracking monitor and collar on him.&nbsp; They called him P-22 \u2013 the \u201cP\u201d meaning \u201cPuma\u201d and 22 meaning he was the 22<sup>nd<\/sup> puma \u2013 or mountain lion &#8211; in their study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P-22 became a minor celebrity as sightings of him roaming the Hollywood Hills were captured by photographers.&nbsp; One man hid cameras around the hillsides and eventually captured a photo of P-22 near the famous Hollywood sign.&nbsp; This iconic photo was then featured on the front of National Geographic Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2014 and 2015, P-22 was captured again by the biologists and treated for rat poisoning and mange.&nbsp; He was released back into the Santa Monica Mountains where they continued to track him for the next seven years.&nbsp; However, in December 2012, P-22 was hit by a car.&nbsp; The biologists captured and evaluated him.&nbsp; Due to the severity of his injuries, plus other life-threatening conditions including kidney failure, heart disease, and skin diseases, he was put to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February 2023, a large blessing ceremony was held to \u201cwelcome P-22 back to his homeland.\u201d&nbsp; This event was attended by approximately 6,000 people, including celebrities, musicians, and politicians, as well as representatives from Native American tribes such as the Chumash and Shoshone.&nbsp; Shortly thereafter, P-22 was laid to rest in a private location in the Santa Monica Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P-22 left behind an amazing legacy. He became an ambassador for animal conservation and the plight of California mountain lions.&nbsp; He was dubbed the \u201cBrad Pitt of mountain lions\u201d and conservationists soon lobbied for the creation of a wildlife crossing over the 101 freeway.&nbsp; This crossing would allow mountain lions and other wildlife to safely cross between the two mountain ranges, thus safeguarding these species and ensuring animal diversity among the two ranges.&nbsp; This crossing broke ground in 2022 and is expected to be completed in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, P-22 has been the subject of books, TV shows, songs, and murals highlighting the Los Angeles lifestyle and the importance of wildlife conservation. His image is also being considered for a statute and a postage stamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who could imagine that one mountain lion could impact California in such a large \u2013 and positive &#8211; way?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think of P-22 and his life in the Hollywood Hills?&nbsp; Have you ever seen a mountain lion in the wild or at a zoo?&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is noon in the Santa Monica Mountains and the sun beats down on a meadow hundreds of feet above the valley.&nbsp;
