SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – The Oatland Island Wildlife Center announced Thursday the passing of Shanti the cougar.
The Oatland Island Wildlife Center says a fungal infection Shanti had been battling for three years recently spread to the bones surrounding his sinuses.
The center says it humanely euthanized the 8-year-old Western Cougar after aggressive intervention attempts failed.
“Shanti was known for his easy-going, fun loving nature and was a favorite with visitors and staff alike.” the center announced on it’s Instagram account, “Shanti was a special soul and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting him.”
The Oatland Island Wildlife Center showcases animals & plants native to the region and is operated by the Savannah Chatham County Public School System.
