(Update) #23: He was known as the “Ghost Cat”. The “Brad Pitt” of Lions. The Old Man (in the cougar world). Any news of P-22 dominated the headlines, and his likeness inspired art all over the city. 

LA's one and only lion king was euthanized on Dec. 17 after severe injuries, likely from impact with a car. He leaves a huge legacy, including a wildlife crossing that is currently being built that will allow LA's wildlife to better roam without risk.

Today we're revisiting the episode we published earlier in the year about the crossing.

The largest wildlife crossing in the WORLD will cross over 10 lanes of the 101 freeway - the deadliest road for mountain lions - to connect the Santa Monica Mountains with the Simi Hills. We revisit the episode with Miguel Ordenaña, the guy who first discovered P-22 using a motion-activated cameras. He and HTLA host Brian De Los Santos talk about what this crossing will mean for this city, and what it takes for projects like these to break ground.

Guest: Miguel Ordenaña, community science manager at the Natural History Museum.
