A young male mountain lion dubbed P-74 (above) has not been accounted for in the Southern California mountains which have been ravaged by wildfire
The National Park Service says all but one of 13 mountain lions being tracked in Southern California mountains have been accounted for following a devastating wildfire.
As of Friday, the only missing mountain lion was one dubbed P-74, a young male born last year.
In addition, all four bobcats that the agency monitors via GPS have been located in the Santa Monica Mountains northwest of Los Angeles.
The 151-square-mile Woolsey fire has charred a huge swath national park land that's home to the big cats and popular among hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders.
The blaze was 88 percent contained on Sunday and more evacuation orders have been lifted.
The Woolsey Fire destroyed 20,000 acres of the Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The fire has destroyed more than 80 percent of the land. It has burned through the native chaparral and coastal sage scrub.
The area now looks like 'scorched earth' and a 'moonscape,' the National Park Service said.
Many of the mountain lions are monitored with radio collars that they wear. These collars transmit a GPS signal, enabling park officials to track their location.
While the mountain lions appear to have gotten lucky, the bobcats have not been as fortunate.

Their entire habitat has been destroyed, though there is good news.
The NPS said that all four bobcats that were being tracked are moving and alive.
In Northern California, authorities sifted through the charred wreckage of the state's deadliest ever wildfire on Sunday, searching for any signs of the 1,276 people now listed as missing after the Camp Fire tore through the mountain town of Paradise.
The remains of 76 people have been recovered so far, 63 of whom have been tentatively identified pending DNA confirmation.
Early on Sunday the blaze, which ignited on Nov. 8, was 60 percent contained, officials said, up from 55 percent Saturday.
Rain is forecast for the area this week, potentially helping douse the blazes but raising the risk of floods and mudslides, adding to the misery of 46,000 people under evacuation orders.
On Saturday, two forensic anthropologists for the University of Nevada, Reno, were helping firefighters sort through the wreckage at a mobile home park for senior citizens in Paradise.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
