P-22, the mountain lion that rose to stardom after gracing the covers of National Geographic in December 2013 while prowling in front of Los Angeles' infamous Hollywood sign, has once again made headlines, but as the main suspect in the death of a koala at the LA Zoo.
But P-22 is far from the only wild animal sighting that's been made far outside of parks and other areas we've come to associate with the wild.
Dozens of wild animals are quickly adapting to city life, from cougars in Mumbai, India, to coyotes in Chicago and baboons in Cape Town. Check them out:

P-22 began his rise to stardom after gracing the covers of National Geographic in December 2013. He'd been spotted prowling in front of the infamous Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, which is nestled on the edge of Griffith Park and the Universal Studios theme park.

In 2012, researchers began tracking P-22. Last year, he was found hiding under a house in the residential Los Feliz neighborhood (located just south of the Hollywood sign). Data from his tracker showed that he visited that spot regularly. Here he is!

But it wasn't the last time P-22 would be seen in the area. According to results of genetic tests, the lion was probably born in the Santa Monica mountains. But in 2012, he was spotted in the 4,000-acre Griffith Park, located just north of Los Feliz. It was estimated that he was 3 years old at that time, which would make him around 7 years old today.
