    We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of P-22, L.A.’s beloved mountain lion. We were just informed that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife made the difficult decision to euthanize him due to the serious injuries he suffered earlier in the week. (1/2)

    On December 23, P-22’s remains arrived at #NHMLA and he was welcomed back to his homeland in a blessing ceremony led by Tribal leaders from the GabrieleÃąo/Tongva, Tataviam, Chumash, Gabrielino-Shoshone, Akimel O’otham, and LuiseÃąo Tribes—thread.
    NHMLA's P-22 Exhibition features a portrait now covered in hand-written messages from visitors showing their love for L.A.'s big cat.

    Virginia opossums are the only marsupials native to North America. Just like the offspring of kangaroos and wallabies, baby opossums are called joeys.
