P-22 is in a crawl space under a home in Los Feliz - I hope he makes it out of there and back into the park safely! GO P-22!!! This is an image from my @natgeo magazine story on Cougars from Dec. 2013. Cougar P-22 stopping on the trail in Griffith Park, with LA as its background. @stevewinterphoto P-22 was trying to disperse and find his own home - He left Santa Monica National Recreation Area and ended up in Griffith Park. Jeff Sikich from the National Park Service has been monitoring him for the last 3 years. To find out more about the animals in the Santa Monica National Recreation Area - the largest urban park in the US - and wildlife overpass project - planned over the 101 freeway at Liberty Canyon - check out the Samo Fund. The animals - specifically the cougars of the area need the overpass - as genetically they are in the same situation the florida panther was when they brought in some new genes a few years ago from mt. lions from the south. www.samofund.org #SamoFund. #SaveLACougars #NBCLA @latimes #bigcatsforever @natgeo http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-famed-p22-mountain-lion-found-under-los-feliz-home-owner-says-20150413-story.html Please visit National Geographic Magazine @natgeo - ngm.com and National Geographic’s Big Cat Initiative @ CauseAnUproar.org, to find out ways to become involved - to save big cats! @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #beauty #la #me # photofotheday #cougar #canon #photography #conservationphotography #porlaplaneta @natgeo #bigcatsforever
