P22 is a mountain lion that lives under the Hollywood sign in Griffith Park. He is one of the most urban large cats in the world with one of the smallest home ranges (8 mi2). As part of his research with Los Angeles carnivores, Dr. Seth Riley has been following P22 since 2012 and joins us to tell his remarkable story. The survival of P22 for over 10 years shows how large predators and people can survive together, but also highlights the challenges the Los Angeles lion population faces for the future as the remaining natural areas get more and more isolated. The story of P22 shows that there is hope for these big cats, and Seth ends with a bold proposal that could not only ensure the future of Hollywood lions, but help other species as well.
