A mountain lion with his own Facebook fan page that triggered a media storm by hiding in the crawl space under a Los Angeles house has left its urban refuge, wildlife officials said on Tuesday.
The animal known as P-22, who usually lives in Griffith Park and was featured in a 2013 National Geographic photo with the Hollywood sign in the background as it descended a dirt trail, had resisted efforts to evict him.
The big cat was discovered in the crawl space on Monday in the city's affluent hillside Los Feliz neighborhood.
