A cougar from Griffith Park, California, who became famous after her photo was published in National Geographic magazine, has found a new home - under a house in Los Angeles.
Pushing with a stick, throwing tennis balls and many other tactics did not help the experts from the nature protection organization to drive the animal away.
Jason Arcinaco, a homeowner in Los Feliz, a hilly part of Los Angeles, told KNBC-TV that the male cougar was found in the basement Monday by workers installing a security system.
"I don't think he'll come out. He's probably been living there for a while. He thinks it's his lair," Archinako said.
Workers from the environmental organization first tried to drive the cougar out by gently pushing them with a stick, then fired tennis balls into the basement in the hope that at least the noise would make it flee.
Neither tactic, however, made the animal even move. The only thing left for them now is to wait.
The cougar, designated P-22, lives in nearby Griffith Park, where it came from the Santa Monica Range several years ago.
Her photo from 2013, with the Hollywood sign in the background, became famous around the world.
