The celebrity mountain lion of Griffith Park, P-22, was remembered in a grand celebration at the Greek Theatre at noon on Saturday. Here’s what a few attendees had to say about the mountain lion's perseverance in the center of the concrete jungle:
Stein said he has for years felt a personal connection to P-22 — especially his status as a long-time bachelor.
“She fed feral cats all the time. She rode horses and everything,” Stein said. “So now, on both my forearms, I have my sister and P-22, forever.”Babetta Gonzalez had a special mask made for P-22’s celebration of life. Griff Griffith, an “edutainer” with Jumpstart Nature and educator with California State Parks, Jasmine Gaston, a small business owner, and Erika Granadino, a bilingual environmental educator with Humboldt’s Redwood State Park, all came down from Humboldt County to celebrate P-22’s life. They also did a short performance on stage at the end of the celebration.
“I didn't really know too much about mountain lions, I used to think that they were scary before I really got to know P-22,” she said, demonstrating the first part of the move, throwing up her hands like Michael Jackson did in Thriller. Then she added the“I'm a dancer, I like to dance in the mirror at home, you know, by myself,” she said laughing. “So the stanky leg was in. And it just clicked.
