Cougar Crossing: How Hollywood’s Celebrity Cougar Helped Build a Bridge for City Wildlife<\/em>

Booktalk:<\/strong> 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 twenty lanes of the world\u2019s worst traffic–to make his home in LA\u2019s Griffith Park, overlooking the famed Hollywood sign. But Griffith Park is a tiny territory for a mountain lion, and P-22\u2019s life has been filled with struggles.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
