An artist has devoted a sweeping new street mural to the memory of one of Los Angeles’ most famous residents — the mountain lion known as P-22.
The celebrated mountain lion, who took up residence in the city, was euthanized last weekend amid worsening health and injuries likely caused by a car. With a sweep of her brush, Corie Mattie has erected a memorial on the side of a building showing the beloved big cat wearing a crown with the words “Long Live the King.” Earlier this year, she painted a separate mural devoted to P-22, where residents left flowers after the cougar died.
The cougar was regularly recorded on security cameras strolling through residential areas near his home in Griffith Park, an oasis of hiking trails and picnic areas in the middle of the city.
