Discover the amazing true story of P-22, the wild cougar living in Los
Angeles, in this inspiring picture book.
P-22, the famed "Hollywood Cougar," was born in a national park near Los
Angeles, California. When it was time for him to leave home and stake a
claim to his own territory, he embarked on a perilous journey--somehow
crossing sixteen lanes of the world's worst traffic--to make his home
in LA's Griffith Park, overlooking the famed Hollywood sign. But
Griffith Park is a tiny territory for a mountain lion, and P-22's life
has been filled with struggles.
Residents of Los Angeles have embraced this brave cougar as their own
and, along with the scientists monitoring P-22, raised money to build a
wildlife bridge across Highway 101 to help cougars and other wildlife
safely expand their territories and build new homes--ensuring their
survival for years to come.
