There are so many Cougar mascots out there and no offense to Shasta and Houston, but there is nothing special about this Cougar. Shasta has high energy and works with the crowd, but other than that, Shasta is like pretty much any other mascot.

Shasta does have a female counterpart, but she doesn't have a name and she doesn't come around all that much.
