It has been confirmed that a male mountain lion has taken up residence in Los Angeles' Griffith Park. The 3 year old mountain lion has been dubbed P-22. The "P" stands for puma! Griffith Park sit smack dab in the middle of Los Angeles and is approximately 8 square miles in size. In the park there are the traditional picnic grounds, playing fields and walking paths as well as a zoo, horseback riding area and merry go round. Griffith Park is also rather wild and mountainous in areas filled with ravines and lots of great hiding spots for a mountain lion. It is believed that the mountain lion was attracked to the park by the deer that run free through out. This being Los Angeles P-22 is now an instant celebrity!
