My Story
Tocho the Cougar
In late October 2015, we received a message from our veterinarian about helping some cougar cubs who had been orphaned in their state's legal trophy hunt. Despite the many efforts of the local Fish and Game officer to find placement, the youngsters had no place to call home and faced euthanasia the following Saturday... until Popcorn Park heard of them.
We welcomed them here and named them Tocho (meaning mountain lion) and Shilo (brother), and introduced them to the public the following spring. Being wild, the pair has remained somewhat elusive to visitors, but they have grown in excellent health, and gradually have come to relax a bit with staff. Tocho is the more outgoing of the two brothers, and right from the beginning, was more willing to check out his environment and his new home. Tocho would love it if you would sponsor him. Please consider sponsoring Tocho today!
