A celebration of life for Los Angeles' celebrity mountain lion P-22 will be held at the Greek Theater on February.
The two-hour event is expected to include musical performances, dancing and food, according to the theater.
Known as the "Hollywood Cat," P-22 became the face of the NPS's program to track local lions in the Santa Monica Mountains. His exploits were documented in various media accounts, including his daring freeway crossings, hiding out under a Los Feliz home in a standoff that drew widespread attention and even being named a suspect in the killing of a koala at the Los Angeles Zoo.
He was initially captured and outfitted with a tracking collar in 2012. At the time of his last capture, he weighed 123 pounds. "P-22's advanced age, combined with chronic, debilitating, life- shortening conditions and the clear need for extensive long-term veterinary intervention left P-22 with no hope for a positive outcome," according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
