California wildlife officials said it's unlikely P-22 will be released back into the wild.
Wildlife officials wanted to give P-22 a medical evaluation after displaying behavior they classified as distressing. Since early November, authorities said he’s been involved in at least five incidents with people and their pets, including the killing of a Chihuahua, and another dog that was attacked but survived his injuries.In an update, authorities said P-22 is officially underweight.
While there is a belief that it’s normal for a mountain lion to stalk and attack its prey, wildlife experts said in P-22’s case, the behavior is abnormal and that he’s wandering further and further from his range in Griffith Park. CDFW officials said in the ten years that they’ve been tracking him, he’s always stayed away from humans. The behavioral and physical changes indicate P-22 is having a hard time living in the wild and that the changes could be attributed to his age.
P-22 is thought to be about 12 years old, which is considered old for a mountain lion. Now, CDFW officials said his fate depends on test results. The two options on the table are that he lives out his senior years in a specialized sanctuary or the possibility of being euthanized. that I have read and agree
