We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of P-22, L.A.’s beloved mountain lion. We were just informed that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife made the difficult decision to euthanize him due to the serious injuries he suffered earlier in the week. (1/2)
On December 23, P-22’s remains arrived at #NHMLA and he was welcomed back to his homeland in a blessing ceremony led by Tribal leaders from the Gabrieleño/Tongva, Tataviam, Chumash, Gabrielino-Shoshone, Akimel O’otham, and Luiseño Tribes—thread.
This afternoon, P-22’s remains arrived at the Natural History Museum. He was transported by NHM Senior Manager of Community Science Miguel Ordeñana, Assistant Curator of Mammalogy Kayce Bell, and descendents from Gabrieleño/Tongva, Tataviam, and Chumash Tribes.
