A surveillance image of P-22 on the grounds near the Los Angeles Zoo on March 2, 2016. An adult female koala named Killarney went missing from her zoo habitat March 3. Animal care staff looked for the animal and found portions of her remains inside the zoo. There is no definite photo or video evidence that P-22, the mountain lion that lives in Griffith Park, was the cause of her disappearance, but the mountain lion was seen on zoo surveillance video on grounds the night before she died.
