P-22 had me at 'puma'. This legendary 'Hollywood cat' caught my fancy as soon as I heard about him. By 2014 I was excited to show up at the on-site announcement gathering for what would be his legacy, the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. The crossing couldn't come fast enough to save him. We trapped him between freeways, we failed him. But P-22's steadfast followers keep him in the news and artists continue to be inspired by him. His is an important and historical wildlife story.
Last August I went to Descanso Gardens with friends to see the always luscious greenery. And there was P-22. A mural, an exhibit and artwork telling his story. |
