P-22, the Famous Mountain Lion of Griffith Park, Checks Out Healthy At 11 Years Old

P-22 is probably the world's most famous mountain lion.
He made the seemingly impossible 50-mile-trip from the Santa Monica Mountains to Griffith Park, crossing both the 101 and the 405 freeways to get there. It's a feat many fellow mountain lions just don't survive — and he's still here, roaming the trails at the ripe old age of (we think) 11.
Local wildlife specialists have been keeping tabs on the puma since his great migration in 2012, and last month they got another chance to check him out when replacing his GPS radio collar — something that happens every two years.
"He looks good for an old cat," says Jeff Sikich, a biologist with the National Park Service's Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. "For as much as we can tell from the work-up we give these animals for that hour we have them in our hands, he appeared healthy and fine."
