Stardom has done little to dispel the stealth and mystery surrounding p 22. The camera friendly mountain lion known to stalk the deep chaparral cloaked canyons and secluded arroyos of Griffith Park since no other mountain lion had ever safely crossed the 101 freeway from the santa Monica Mountains before sightings of an apex predator in the Hollywood hills and the blurry photographs and hearsay used to back them up were roundly dismissed even by mainstream wildlife biologists as the stuff of urban legend.
