October may be the tenth month, but the number "22" instantly springs to mind this time of year for many nature-loving Southern Californians.
That's because we respectfully paws, er, pause to celebrate the incredible legacy of P-22, the beloved mountain lion, and the countless wild critters that live in our neighborhoods, and, quite often, just beyond our doors.
P-22 Day will raise a joyful roar later in the month at Griffith Park, but there's a wonderful way to connect with local animals in the days ahead: By securing a complimentary ticket to Wildlife Day at the Pasadena Humane.

The Oct. 6 event will offer a host of interesting diversions, from activities created for the youngsters — participants will make seed crafts — and a vendor marketplace made for browsing and possibly buying (nurseries and purveyors of handmade goods will be on the grounds).
The Arroyo and Foothills Conservancy will present an informative talk, along with other nature-minded organizations, while "ambassador animals" will make cool and educational cameos.
As mentioned, Wildlife Day is totally free to attend but spots are limited, so you'll want to snag your ticket faster than a swooping hawk alights on a high tree branch.
