The Legacy Of P-22: Hollywood's Famous Mountain Lion

A cougar has lived in Los Angeles' Griffith Park for the past decade, and he's done more for saving the species than any other creature.

Every morning with cup of hot tea, Michael McMahan takes in the unpolished wildness of L.A.'s 4,000-acre Griffith Park behind his apartment complex.  

"I kind of feel special and like I'm a voyeur, like this this whole natural world is here, and I'm just sort of, like, peeking in on it," he said.

McMahan has nine trail cameras set up nearby. When he's lucky, he captures images of P-22, Griffith Park's famous resident mountain lion. And he's lucky a lot.
