PHOTOS: Greek Theater celebrates P-22
Thousands of people flocked to the Greek Theater on Saturday to celebrate the legacy of P-22, the mountain lion that lived in Griffith Park for more than a decade.
In an event that lasted more than three hours and was streamed online to thousands of viewers, more than four dozen speakers – including scientists, lawyers, politicians and celebrities – recognized the far-reaching impact of the puma on conservation and wildlife research.
