P-22 (c. 2009/2010 – December 17, 2022) was a wild mountain lion who resided in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California, at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains. P-22 was first identified in 2012, after which he was monitored by radio collar. He lived in Griffith Park for ten years and was often recorded in nearby Hollywood Hills neighborhoods as well. He was captured and euthanized in December 2022, after examinations revealed he was suffering from traumatic injuries consistent with being hit by a car, in combination with several longer-term health issues. P-22 was the subject of significant media attention, including numerous books, television programs, and other works of art. Most significant was a photograph of him in front of the Hollywood Sign, which was featured in National Geographic. P-22's likeness was also instrumental in funding the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing.
