If this mountain lion becomes part of the study, it will be named P-122, the NPS said.
Wildlife biologists with the National Park Service are investigating reports of an untagged mountain lion sighting recently in Griffith Park . "They are intrigued and curious about this animal," the NPS said in a statement. "If it doesn't move on, they are hopeful they will be able to learn more about it." Biologists with the NPS have been researching mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains for the past 22 years.
"It's good timing that state lawmakers are voting on two bills this week that would improve wildlife connectivity and restrict the use of deadly rat poisons. Let's hope they use this opportunity to pass the Room to Roam Act and the Poison-free Wildlife Act so our wild neighbors can thrive."Griffith Park was home to longtime beloved resident P-22, who was euthanized last December after a series of strange behavioral incidents that led to concerns about his health.
