Iyuhlata
Southwestern Cougar

"Itchy"

Birthday: March 27th



Photo by: Phyllis
Iyhulata was one of four cougars confiscated by US Fish and Wildlife that were part of a smuggling operation.  When their case was over and the evidence released, the officers turned to us to give the cougars a happy home for the rest of their lives.  His very raspy voice is how he got his name.  His lineage as a South American cougar gives him a distinctive look from the others cougars on the compound.
 
Magic Moments:

    "I turned the corner and Iyuhlata was sitting on his den and he chirped at me.  When I chirped back in the same tone, he got very excited as if saying 'You have an itchy voice too!'"
