Dear Professor Clackamas,
Why are we the "Clackamas Cougars?” Why
not the "Clackamas Camels?” The "Clacka­
mas Chinchillas?”

a
hat a good question, One. Whether or not you like the mascot, I think it goes
without saying that it could be worse. (Delta State ‘Fighting Okra’ anyone?)
Cougars are native to the Northwest, and m ostof this land is suitable for cougar
habitat, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
So why exactly did we choose the cougar as our mascot?
After far too much research than I ever wanted to do on this school, it turns
out that I don’t think there’s even a reason for the chosen wildcat as the mascot.
Cougars however, are known for their visual accuracy, their excellent climbing
skills, and pack a set of sharp teeth to rip your throat out.
Still better than a fighting okra.
Go Cougs.
Sincerely and annoyed,
Professor Clackamas
