LOS ANGELES — P-22, celebrity mountain lion and Griffith Park’s most wanted big cat, was captured Monday morning in a Los Feliz backyard, the homeowner told The Times.
Resident Sarah Picchi said the lion was caught near Franklin Avenue and St. George Street in the Franklin Hills area.
P-22 had been sought for evaluation by the National Park Service and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife after “exhibiting some signs of distress” in recent weeks, including killing a leashed Chihuahua and attacking another dog.
