LOS ANGELES — Since P-22's death in December, the most famous mountain lion in Los Angeles has been honored with roadside tributes, half a dozen murals and an upcoming celebration of life in Griffith Park is expected to draw thousands.
Now, Rep. Adam B. Schiff, R-Calif., is pushing for a more permanent honor: a P-22 postage stamp.
In a letter sent Friday to the federal committee that recommends new U.S. stamps, Schiff wrote that P-22 was a "magnificent and wild creature, who reminded us all that we are part of a natural world so much greater than ourselves."
