New mural painted in memory of LA’s famed mountain lion

Daniel Richards, a 55-year-old tour guide visits a mural by street artist Corie Mattie dedicated to the memory of one of Los Angeles' most famous residents, P-22, in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles Friday, Dec. 23, 2022. The celebrated mountain lion who lived in the city and was recently euthanized amid worsening health and injuries likely caused by a car. "He's kind of a legend," Richards said of the mountain lion. "It's a really great mural and really memorializes something that was unique here in the city of Los Angeles."

P-22 became the face of a campaign to build a wildlife crossing over a Los Angeles-area freeway to give big cats, coyotes, deer and other wildlife a safe path to the nearby Santa Monica Mountains, where they have room to roam.
