But it's a story that's been bouncing around in my head for the last month or so. I think there's a lot of metaphor and coincidence when it comes to a sendoff for 2022 and more topically P-22.Towards the end of the episode I want to give some quick thoughts on the state of the show and the state of my life going into 2023, but if you're just tuning in because you found me from some arcane algorithm, or if you googled how to bag cougars, (Which you'll find I won't be much help with) I'm sure you want to jump right into the action. So with a quick belated Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year, and without further ado let's pounce right into today's topic.P-22 was a mountain lion that lived in the heart of Los Angeles in a small territory consisting of Griffith Park, and later on the surrounding city. For those of you that don't know LA well or at all, Griffith Park is home to that big ass observatory in Grand theft auto five, and the iconic HOLLYWOOD Sign. He became a celebrity in the city of celebrity and like many celebrities in hollywood, sometimes he did great good for his species, and other times he swallowed koalas right out of their pen. Looking at you gary busey. His life brought awareness to wildlife and kickstarted a project to help wildlife in the LA area. He was eventually brought down by the people of LA, not unlike the rest of the country, but his relationship with them proved fatal just about a month agoP-22 began his life in the Santa Monica mountain range, as many mountain lions do. I think big cats are cool as hell, peep episode one if you want to hear an amazing tiger story, and keep an eye out for future cat episodes down the lion. The Tsavo man eating lions, vengeful russian tigers, weird british ghost panthers, the great zoo suicide of 2011, depends on whatever mood I'm felineBut I think it's spectacular we have them in America, mountain lions and I think there are even jaguars or panthers in Florida now. Life and times of P-22Before we talk about the tragedy at the end of the story I think it's best we do a record scratch//freezeframe yup that's me I guess you're wondering how I got here situation so let's jump back in time, to somewhere between 2009 and 2012 on the 101 or 405 highways near los angelesThe Interstate 405 alone is 8 lanes across both ways. That's a big fucking highway and if any if the drivers in LA are as bad or worse than the ones in LA, which is an assumption I have no problem making, it's a dangerous proposition to cross. I rarely want to cross more than a two lane road in small towns unless I'm playing fucking frogger. Now imagine you're a 2 or 3 year old mountain lion or puma, or catamount, or mountain screamer or cougar or red tiger or any of the myriad of names we call felis concolor. You're entering adolescence and leaving the protective care of your mother to stake out a territory of your own. Unfortunately the santa monica mountain range doesn't have a whole lot of extra real estate so you need to venture westward towards human civilization, if you stayed around here the dominant male cat would kill you sooner or later This was P-22s predicament. When the going gets tough, the tough get going and he had to make the choice between certain death at the paws of the dominant male or 90 percent death crossing over 10 lanes of traffic on some of america's busiest highways. He somehow dashed across the 101 AND the 405, where many animals and cougars meet their doom and made his way into griffith park.Griffith park like I mentioned earlier, home of the hollywood sign and surrounded by human civilization. It was an area of about 9 square miles. Mountain lions usually claim an area of 280 square miles. So an insane choice for the cat but what is he supposed to do? go  back across a dozen lanes of busy traffic or just swang at his new pad where no mountain lion has been for probably hundreds of years. It was free real estate, and cats don't know exact statistics on how bg their homes should be, because they can't read biology textbooks. So P-22 made his home there in the park, peacefully eating mule deer, coyotes, and escaped chihuahuas. Fast forward to february of 2012 and Humanity got its first glimpse of the soon to be famous cat. He was caught on a wildlife trailcam looking for bobcats and coyotes and the guy is like that's a lion's ass! Immediately the national park service wanted to tranq him and fit him with a radio collar. It was a big deal. No lions got this close to humanity. Jeff sikich with the national parks service set up traps and eventually captured him in march They tagged him with a radio collar and dubbed him P-22, the name that would go on to be quite possibly the most famous puma ever, and simply standing for P as in puma and 22 because he was the twenty second puma captured and collared in the study.So it began, his observed life in griffith parkHe showed up in a variety of newspapers over time, la times ectPeople were excited to see him on hikes or later on as the tech became more mainstream, ring cams or other CCTV footage in the hollywood hills, because he would occasionally prowl through those suburbs. As time went by, he was more frequently spotted in civilized areas outside of the parkYou can see all kinds of footage of this. Prowling under stairs, running across the street, just walking down a sidewalk casually. It's really awesome. They're the fourth largest Cat species worldwide if we don't count sightings of relic smilodon. behind, I'm guessing, Tigers, lions, and jaguars. Cheetahs would be next, just guessing. If I'm wrong @ me on twitter or instagram or facebook or whatever. They clock in at 117-220 pounds generally and hit up to 8 feet long snout to tail tip. Way smaller than a tiger, if you want to know more tiger stats feast your ears on episode one. Still way bigger than a dog or a cat or anything else that'll be wandering the streets of LAPublished in late 2013 was a national geographic story with the now iconic image of P-22 crossing the ridge at night with the Hollywood sign off in the background. The cameraman set up motion detector cameras for 15 months in the park and finally got some great shots. Most of the other great shots couldn't be collected because people kept stealing the cameras. Following the Nat Geo stories, I'll link all this in the show notes, and I'll actually do that this time.More and more people became interested in the life and times of P-22.There's something remarkably human and relatable about him. One documentary put it well where it describes him, alone on a friday, stuck because of traffic, and unable to find a mate. We've all been there. He never ended up finding a mate just because the odds of a cougar making it out there across those highways to his territory were astronomical. He would stroll the city, like I mentioned, but the city took him on as a part of their own local culture. There are several murals, tons of facebook groups, hiking teams, fan clubs, you name it! People would see him on hikes, in their security cams or just roaming around. Some wanted him gone but the general vibe I get is that people were really proud of the big cat, as a neighbor, and as a symbol of the coexistence of nature and humanity As we over-expand and turn this place into a coruscant style hellhole we need to do what we can to keep giant predators living side by side with us. In 2014 we came across I think the first time I ever saw P-22, and that's when he was acting erratically according to his collar Authorities trapped him again and found he was suffering from disease, parasites and the dreaded mange. He looked bad, in short. That's another Iconic image, P-22 looks like the worst hangover of your life, scraggly unkempt hair, droopy eyes, dried mucus, and a general malaise marked his appearance The national park service tranqed him, cleaned him up and loaded him up on antibiotics and when he was captured again six months later he was in peak physical shape, this is where the meme comes in. They show the before and after picture of his treatment and in the after, he looks alert and regal. People were happy with his recovery and it was at this time a few other mountain lions were killed on the dangerous highways and where P-22 really found his greater purpose, or rather where we found it for him. He was already a symbol of urban wildlife and essentially became an ambassador in spirit for the wallis annenberg wildlife crossing, a proposed wildlife bridge over the 405, that would be the largest of it's kind in the world. It would be essential a highway overpass/underpass but instead of a road, it would be forested and maintained to keep the feel of the landscape, providing a safe way for all sorts of animals to cross the exceedingly deadly 405.I love this they have em in europe, and other places that care about animalsI'm pretty sure that as of now the crossing has broken ground and the construction has begunI'll throw a link to that in the show notes I think this is really awesome and really important, and 22s lasting legacy but I don't think it makes great show material necessarily so I'm not gonna go on too much about it, but I'm sure there are some crowdfunding options or cougar rehab organizations, if you want to lend them a hand somehow.Make sure it's the right kind of cougar thoughBut as his final glorious legacy, it's up to you to say if the end justifies the means and this is where the means get meanAfter recovering from mange and everything, The cat coasted for a while on his celebrity status. It seems most locals had at least heard of him but the sources I was looking at were obviously p-22 centric so I can't really asses what the actual feel was in LALet me knowPeople were content to catch a glimpse of the legendary critter on hikes or through local news reports and were overall happy to have himThe articles didn't touch on this too much but I'm sure there was a subset of people indifferent or straight up “shoot that varmint” before he kills a kid or something and I can see both sides but also I generally prefer cats to people anyway so if somebody's gotta be lunch to keep the big cats around wellBut like every true crime documentary, there's the part where everything is going fine, UNTIL IT WASN'T cue the music sting and the inverted image of P-22 His range was perilously small compared to other mountain lions his age and size, and he was no doubt lonely and restless. After all in the wild he would have likely mated by now. Additionally one of the main problems that he and many other animals in the entire ecosystem out there is rodenticide poisoning.People try to get rid of rats and pestsRats and pests eat the poison but take a long time to dieIt all stays bioavailable when they're preyed on or even just in the soilIt trickles up the food chain to the point that like 90 percent of the rescued wildlife in the areas is poisoned by it one way or another.They're all disoriented and internally bleeding It sucks just keep your place clean and put your trash away and you won't have the problemSo lonely, restless, and not thinking clearly, P-22 begins to roam further outside griffith park, showing up more and more frequently over the next few years, sometimes LION on peoples porch in broad daylight, I'm sure dogs and cats probably went missing But in 2016 it all came to a head.It was a weird year for zoos, peace be upon harambe's nameOn second thought it was a weird year for everyoneKillarney the koala, a robust 18 pound brave female koala, aged 14, so no spring chicken was doing her nightly walk about her enclosure, she was reportedly the only one brave enough to walk on the ground at night and paid with her life for it.On March 2nd of 2016 P-22 was spotted on security footage prowling outside the LA Zoo on the outskirts of Griffith park. The next morning Killarney was missing. Clumps of fur were discovered in her enclosure but none of the other koalas were gone. Later though, her remains were found chewed up 350 yards away. GPS data couldn't conclusively point at P-22 because there was a 2 hour gap in his GPS Tracking that night.  THE PERFECT CRIMEAnyway killarney, kill for short was mauled to death and the zoo was very sad, but they also said IF, big “Big if true” as to whether he killed her. It could be a bobcat, or SKC, spontaneous koala combustionDon't kill ‘22 he's just acting within his natureOver that same time period and later up until his untimely death, ‘22 increased his erratic behaviorHe showed up throughout the surrounding city and suburbsGot under peoples porchesAttacked dogs Ate a chihuahuaAte another chihuahuaAttacked another chihuahuaHe hung on, appearing sporadically in sightings until December of 2022He was captured after a report in a los feliz owners backyard on december 12th,where he would get a medical evaluation while tranquilized and have his gps collar battery changed, as usual.He was found to have huge trauma to his abdominal organs, and GPS data matched up with a reported collision with a vehicle and a mountain lion earlier that week. Not only the trauma damage, but long term health problems like heart disease and kidney failure were plaguing P-22 at his evaluation.IT was with heavy heart the decision was made At 9am on December 17th, 2022, the king of LA's reign came to an end.P-22 was euthanized, too beat up to be safely returned to the wild, see episode #1 if you want to know what an injured big cat can do to a human populationNow he reigns in cat heaven, with an all you can eat chihuahua buffet, maybe he'll finally meet a mate, maybe it's the champawat tigress, does that biology or spirituality work out on any level? I don't know and it doesn't matter, it's all a hologram anyway. This episode is actually coming out just in time, because P-22's celebration of life is going to be livestreamed this Saturday, February 4th, I'll have a link to that in the notes if you want to see it. I'll probably tweet that out too. And so the king of california is gone, but far from forgotten. His story serves as a reminder of the need to live in peace with urban wildlife. And saving big cats in general. I'm proud to bring this story into 2023 and I have a lot of awesome stuff planned for this year. We're doing youtube,we're doing sponsors? Any takers? We're hitting 3 thousand downloads, we're inspiring people to make their own art, we're educating the masses on big cats, big foots, big conspiracies, big legends, big history and so much more. I want to thank you guys for listening this far, and if you don't care about the sappy stuff, you know it's only gonna be nightmares from now onBut if you do, thanks for listening to this show, whether this is your first episode or you've binged the whole catalog, you're the reason I do this.The support has been unreal since launch and it's really a dream come true. I want to bust my ass this year and maybe get to a point where this can pay maybe a bill each month, and maybe a few years from now pay all of them. I'm happy to have you along, 2022 had some of the best and worst days of my entire life, I married my best friend with the support of all the people I care about, started this very podcast finally, and had he trip of a lifetime on my honeymoon, At the same time we battled all kinds of tragedy both close to home and abroad.I Cannot wait for the next 11 months ( I really did slack a bit there huh) for spooky bullshit here at nightmare now, more getting together with friends and family, more adventure and more of all the stuff that makes life awesomeSo thank you, the listener, one more time.And let's take a moment to learn from P-22 and take that into the new year.You may not be in the perfect habitat, without all the freedom to roam that you think you need, but even where you are you find your people, and you can make a difference. Whether it's crushing your chihuahua enemy analog, or blazing a brilliant new path forward for others like you On the flipside, don't be afraid to take that leap, cross your 10 lanes of 405, to find the place where you belong. And lastly remember you may not fully know the impact you have on others. ‘22 didn't know he was admired by thousands across LA, The US and the world, he just did what he was gonna do no matter what. Carry that shit with you this year and it'll be greatGoodnight to you, goodnight to 2022 and goodnight of course sweet prince, P-22I'd say Sweet dreams, but you all know it's only gonna be nightmares now!

The President showed up at the border yesterday for a Potemkin Village visit. One can only imagine what the border patrol agents who led him on the phony tour must have been thinking… The Biden Administration wants to ban gas stoves.

Her new book is Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job but Gave Me My Voice.  An obscure college in Minnesota achieves national infamy by firing a professor for showing a picture of Mohammed in an art book to her students… Dennis talks to Aldo Buttazzoni, new PragerU personality.  He attended a drag show at the LA Zoo.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

The show starts out with Danish telling a cautionary tale about the LA Zoo. Baby Barb found herself in quite the pickle there. After that, we give an update on a topic from last week's show. Someone wrote in talking about the street-whip scene in Hawaii (and no, we're not talking about cars). We then move on to a polygamist UFC fighter, and the tale of a polygamist with 150 kids! O'Neill brings up his frustration with something an actoooooooooor said recently. Finally, it's time to move on to this week's entree: the analysis of a woman who was said to have been breastfeeding her cat on a recent flight. This leads to many questions and a lot of pontificating. After that titillating conversation, Danish talks about a delivery driver he saw in a nice whip (this time, we are talking about cars). Last but certainly not least, we talk about a story out of Georgia where a webcam model accidentally discharged a firearm in a VERY delicate area of her body. Helix is offeringup to 200 dollars off all mattress orders AND two free pillows for our listeners at Helix Sleep.com/dando. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When I realized it was imminent, I began slowly replacing our “couple” shots on social media with animal pics from the LA Zoo. I was humiliated and didn't want anyone to know. Six months later he was gone, but after two years people were still asking, “Did you get divorced?” Only those close to me knew what went down. I'm now finally ready to reveal what happened to end my marriage...and regain my mojo.

Can you name the fastest land mammal in North America? If you guessed pronghorn, you're right. In the world, they're second only to the cheetah. A team from UC Riverside met some friendly and very fast pronghorns along with giraffes, chimpanzees, and okapis while interviewing UCR alumna Denise Verret at the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens. The zoo, according to Denise, represents the best of Los Angeles, a place she loves dearly and has dedicated her life to serving. In 2019, after three decades working for the city of Los Angeles, Denise was named CEO and director of the zoo, becoming the first African American woman to lead a major U.S. zoo. In this wild episode of The Creator State, Denise shares her love for animals and LA during an interview with UCR Magazine editor Omar Shamout inside The Lair, the reptile and amphibian house at the LA Zoo.

If we've learned anything from our adventures so far, it's that the locations where the most tumultuous situations played out are usually the creepiest. Whether you believe in ghosts, metaphysical energy or nothing at all, we can all agree that going to L.A.'s old abandoned zoo on Friday the 13th was scary! But we had some good laughs too because we were joined by hilarious comedian, Joe Felix. No kidding, I've seen him do 3 different types of comedy and he's so good at every one of them. Check him out on Twitter at @cuppofJoetogo and definitely catch him performing all around Los Angeles.  He also introduced us to the Rubber-Faced Man.  As always, you can listen to this episode here, Apple Podcast or Spotify.  Co-ghosted by Clark Canez and Jen Curcio
