You might spot a mountain lion in California, but attacks like the one that killed a man are rare

FILE - This November 2014, file photo provided by the U.S. National Park Service shows a mountain lion known as P-22, photographed in the Griffith Park area near downtown Los Angeles. Scientists have been studying the lions since 2002 in and around Southern California's Santa Monica Mountains to determine how they survive in a fragmented and urbanized environment. The most famous cougar in the study, who became a kind of unofficial Los Angeles mascot, was P-22. After crossing two heavily traveled freeways and making his home in LA's urban Griffith Park — home of the Hollywood Sign — P-22 became a symbol for California's endangered mountain lions and their decreasing genetic diversity.
