California's famed P-22 mountain lion likely will live out the rest of his life in a sanctuary or be euthanized following a health assessment that found he was malnourished and may have been hit by a car. Euthanasia is a worst-case scenario if further testing shows that he's suffering, said Ed Pert, regional manager of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, during a Tuesday news conference.The health exam found that P-22 is dramatically underweight, has a thin coat and has a right eye injury most consistent with being hit by a car, Pert said, adding that an anonymous caller reported a car accident with a mountain lion on Sunday.
The cougar was given antibiotics, fluids with vitamins, and anti-inflammatories, and is resting. An upcoming scan will tell wildlife officials more. "It's not likely that P-22 will be released back into the wild," Pert said, citing the big cat's health issues."But we are trying to leave all options on the table."
