LOS ANGELES, Ca. (WPVI) -- Animal control officers will try again Tuesday to lure this "celebrity" out from a crawl space under a house in the Los Angeles area.

The mountain lion was collared about a year ago, and is known among wildlife officials as Specimen P-22.

Animal control officers tried a few tricks to get him out, including shooting bean bag rounds and tennis balls, and even poking him with a stick.

P-22 was famously photographed in 2013 by National Geographic with the Hollywood sign in the background.
