A mountain lion, named P-22, lives in the heart of Los Angeles. He crossed two major freeways to get from the Santa Monica Mountains to Griffith Park, where he now shares eight square miles or parkland with hikers and picnickers. This intimate exhibition brings you into his territory and describes the efforts of NHMLAC staff to track and learn from this charismatic cat.
