However, the animal has attacked two dogs and also been spotted near houses, leading to concern about its wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sarah Picchi, a resident of Los Feliz, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2022-12-12\/p-22-captured-in-backyard-of-los-feliz-home-resident-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> the Los Angeles Times that the lion was captured in her backyard on Monday. She was working a little before eleven in the morning when someone rang at the entrance to her home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe woman said, \u2018No, I\u2019m with Wildlife. You have a lion in your backyard,\u2019\u201d Picchi said in an interview with the Times. \u201cOf course, I knew it was P-22 because I\u2019ve been\u00a0following the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Last week, authorities with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlife.ca.gov\/News\/california-department-of-fish-and-wildlife-and-national-park-service-team-up-to-evaluate-p-221\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> that the agency would \u201ccapture the world-famous mountain lion P-22 and bring him in for a health evaluation.\u201d After the animal is assessed, veterinarians with the agency and National Park Service biologists will decide what the best way forward will be for P-22.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cP-22 has been reported near human dwellings close to his habitat in Griffith Park. Reports include sightings, video camera recordings and physical encounters with the lion,\u201d the agency said in a press release. \u201cP-22 is a remarkably old cat in the wild and, after being deemed responsible for killing a leashed pet last month, may be exhibiting signs of distress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The agency also called it \u201can unprecedented situation in which a mountain lion has continued to survive in such an urban setting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">P-22 is thought to have <a href=\"https:\/\/ktla.com\/news\/local-news\/mountain-lion-attacking-leashed-dog-in-hollywood-hills-caught-on-camera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">killed<\/a> a chihuahua mix dog while a person was walking the dog on November 9, and also attacked another chihuahua. The owner of the second chihuahua fought back against the lion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy wife and I got Piper in 2014,\u201d Daniel Jimenez, the first dog\u2019s owner, said. \u201cWe rescued her and she was just the sweetest dog. We\u2019re just devastated at the loss of our little dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want anything bad to happen to P-22,\u201d Jimenez noted. \u201cI just want people to be safe out there so that nothing like this happens again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In early 2012, P-22 was first seen in Griffith Park and has become famous in the area since that time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Beth Pratt is the California\u00a0regional executive director of the National Wildlife Federation and is also in charge of the SaveLACougars effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIf Griffith Park was connected to other open space, P22 would have options,\u201d she reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2022\/dec\/09\/los-angeles-p22-mountain-lion-captured-distress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> in a statement last week. \u201cP22 might not be now traveling so close to the denser human-wildlife interface.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It was previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2022-12-10\/los-angeles-mountain-lion-p-22-capture-could-take-weeks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">believed<\/a> that it could take a while to bring the animal in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt\u2019s up to the cat,\u201d Pratt said. \u201cIt could be a couple of days or it could be in a month. It just depends on how quickly the cat cooperates.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A famous mountain lion in the Los Angeles area has been captured after it recently carried out several attacks.
