The Houston Zoo says Shasta VII is protective of his smaller brother and often sleeps or rests with his paw over Louie.
Cougar cubs Shasta VII and Louie are settling in at the Houston Zoo after they were found orphaned in Washington. Two young cougar cubs who were found orphaned in Washington have a new home at the Houston Zoo, officials say.In partnership with the University of Houston Alumni Association, the cubs will carry on the tradition of serving as ambassadors for cougars in the wild while representing the cougar spirit of the University of Houston from the zoo.
According to the Houston Zoo, the Washington State Fish & Wildlife Services contacted them after a rancher found the young male cubs alone on his property.The zoo says the cubs were only around four weeks old and likely would not have survived on their own. The cubs were flown over to Houston. The now-eight-week-old cubs have not made their public debut yet, as they are still getting comfortable with their caregivers behind the scenes.While the cubs are still settling in, the zoo says Shasta has already shown himself to be the leader of the two. They say he is protective of his smaller brother, often sleeping or resting with a paw over Louie.
"While the animal health and care teams worked tirelessly to treat both cougars, it was determined that their wellbeing would not improve. The Houston Zoo is committed to providing the best possible welfare for the animals in their care from birth to death. Haley and Shasta VI will be remembered while the new additions are celebrated," the zoo said in a news release.
