Half cougar, half salmon. During a cold and
lonely full
moon eve, a mighty cougar from the Pacific Northwest traveled to the stream during salmon spawning season in search of food. There in the glimmering moonlight, the cougar saw a large
female salmon ripe for the picking. Just as he descended into the
water to make his
kill, the salmon peered up from her nest into the face of the cougar, and the cougar was instantly awestruck. Never had he seen such an elegant, beautiful creature. His
love for the salmon flowed more rapidly than the stream surrounding them, and he instantly released his
love into the waters that connected them. Weeks later a great flood destroyed most of the nest, but a few eggs managed to survive. When these eggs hatched, it was quite apparent that they were not salmon, nor were they cougars; for that night, a creature was created that was as special and rare and unique as the love that created it...THE COUGAN!!!
