That's an interesting observation. It's also a little ironic since I spent a couple of years actually working with two live Cougar mascots at the University of Houston. Shasta III and Shasta IV.

ps for the DIsneyfied. Cougars are wild and NEVER tamed. They are not SIMBA. My last encounter with III could have ended tragically just because she was running a slight fever and I was within bite range. Fortunately, I recognized the warning signs, (Ears back and feet close) and retreated before the impending attack.
