Famed Griffith Park mountain lion P-22 was captured on Monday in the backyard of a Los Feliz home, with state and federal wildlife experts planning to evaluate the big cat's health in the wake of several recent attacks on pet dogs.
The agencies announced Thursday they planned to capture P-22 to evaluate his health, saying the animal “may be exhibiting signs of distress.”
P-22 made headlines in recent weeks for apparent attacks on a pair of dogs. The cat was blamed for killing a leashed dog in the Hollywood Hills and attacking another a week ago in the Silver Lake area.
