SOUNDBITE (English) Miguel Ordeñana, Natural History Museum:"For his story to resonate for people with all backgrounds because of different aspects, it's a story of survival at its core and coexistence. And his story of crossing barriers, boundaries to get where he needs to go, to hopefully provide a legacy for his offspring. That never happened. But I think hopefully that resonates with communities that felt like, oh, nature's not for me. I haven't been invited before. My grandparents weren't invited to these conversations before. Why now? So hopefully he is that reason for why now."MIGUEL ORDEÑANA, NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM - MUST CREDIT MIGUEL ORDEÑANA, NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMLos Angeles –  16 October 20148.

SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) Alan Salazar, Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians:"Spectacular. When you see something spectacular, you know it. That was P-22."STORYLINEThe life of Los Angeles' most famous mountain lion followed a path known only to the biggest of Hollywood stars: Discovered on-camera in 2012, the cougar adopted a stage name and enjoyed a decade of celebrity status before his tragic death late last year.The popular puma gained fame as P-22 and shone a spotlight on the troubled population of California's endangered mountain lions and their decreasing genetic diversity. Now, with his remains stored in a freezer at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, wildlife officials and representatives from the region's tribal communities are debating his next act.  Biologists and conservationists want to retain samples of P-22's tissue, fur and whiskers for scientific testing to aid in future wildlife research. But some representatives of the Chumash, Tataviam and Gabrielino (Tongva) peoples say his body should be returned, untouched, to the ancestral lands where he spent his life so he can be honored with a traditional burial.Likely born about 12 years ago in the western Santa Monica Mountains, wildlife officials believe the aggression of P-22's father and his own struggle to find a mate amid a dwindling population drove the cougar to cross two heavily traveled freeways and migrate east.He made his debut in 2012, captured on a trail camera by biologist Miguel Ordeñana in Griffith Park, home of the Hollywood sign and part of ancestral Gabrielino (Tongva) land.Promptly tagged and christened P-22 — as the 22nd puma in a National Park Service study — he spawned a decade of devotion among Californians, who saw themselves mirrored in his bachelor status, his harrowing journey to the heart of Los Angeles and his prime real estate in Griffith Park amid the city's urban sprawl. Los Angeles and Mumbai are the world's only major cities where large cats— mountain lions in one, leopards in the other — live.But P-22's star dimmed in November, when he killed a Chihuahua on a dogwalker's leash in the Hollywood Hills and likely attacked another weeks later. Wildlife officials said the puma seemed to be "exhibiting signs of distress," in part due to aging.On Dec. 12, they captured P-22 in a residential backyard in the trendy Los Feliz neighborhood. Examinations revealed a skull fracture — the result of being hit by a car — and chronic illnesses including a skin infection and diseases of the kidneys and liver. The city's cherished big cat was euthanized five days later. Los Angeles mourned P-22 as one of their own, with songs, stories and murals crying "long live the king." Post-It notes of remembrance blanketed an exhibit wall at the Natural History Museum and children's paw print messages covered a tableau outside the LA Zoo.But while fame is fleeting for most celebrities, P-22's legacy lives on — though in what form is now up for debate. ===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
