Wildlife officials say that if the big cat gets tagged and becomes part of their study, it would be dubbed P-122.
An untagged mountain lion was spotted in Griffith Park last week, bringing excitement to wildlife enthusiasts hopeful that a new tenant has moved into the area once roamed by the beloved P-22. The big cat was spotted on last Tuesday evening near Barham Boulevard. Video shows as it wanders near a parking lot in the area, just over a dozen feet from Vlad Polumiskov, who was recording the encounter.
'Wilderness has not forgotten us, and so, to have another cat possibly show up here, I think, for Angelenos especially, it's just another sense of wonder that here's the wild word, even in the second-largest city in the country,' said Beth Pratt, a wildlife advocate with NWF.
