Fifth mountain lion diagnosed with mange, possibly linked to rat poison


P-22 is the only mountain lion to have recovered from mange after being treated by the researchers. The popular “Griffith Park” mountain lion was caught and examined in April 2014 after cameras captured images of him looking a lot like P-53 does now. He was treated with topical medications and vitamin K injections and was released. Tests revealed P-22’s blood had compounds from two different rat poisons.
