P-22, the local Hollywood-area mountain lion, had small dog in its mouth when its owner fought him off.
A mountain lion widely assumed to be P-22, called the “Hollywood Cat” for prowling in developed neighborhoods near Griffith Park, attacked and injured a chihuahua in Silver Lake last week, and ran off when the dog’s owner punched and kicked the cat until it ran off, according to ABC7.
P-22 recently attacked and killed a chihuahua on a leash with his owner, near the Hollywood reservoir. Wildlife officials are worried about P-22’s behavior, the Southland’s most famous mountain lion, after his apparent attacks on dogs and his close encounters with their owners. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife and the National Park Service say P-22 may be exhibiting signs of distress associated with living in an urban setting. P-22 is one of many Southland lions being tracked by Park Service researchers.
The so-called Hollywood Cat has gained considerable renown for managing to cross both the 405 and 101 freeways to reach his current roaming grounds in the Griffith Park area.In the most recent P-22 attack, resident Rene Astorga said he was taking his chihuahua named Taz for a walk late Friday night, about 15 to-20 feet from his front door when he saw an animal coming toward them, which he at first mistook for a large dog.“It was a huge mountain lion,” Astorga told ABC7. “I saw the collar.
