[[Image:Kougra yellow baby.gif|right|frame|The Yellow Kougra as of January 2007]]
The '''Kougra''' (a homophone of ''[[wikipedia:cougar|cougar]]'', an [[wikipedia:Americas|American]] [[wikipedia:big cat|big cat]]) is a [[Wikipedia:tiger|tiger]]-like [[Neopet]] introduced August 3, 2000 upon the [http://neopets.com/newfeatures/aug2000.phtml discovery of the 'Mystery Island'] as one of several potential pets. As ''Tiger Cub'' it won the user vote and was released as a pet on August 9, 2000.


Originating from [[Mystery Island]], the [[Kougra]] is a [[Neopet]] whose energetic nature combined with its large paws and pointy teeth make it a natural in the [[Battledome]]. These cheeky buggers love to pounce on unsuspecting playmates, so if you plan to introduce this Neopet to your family and friends, make sure that its playmates do not confuse the Kougra's playfulness for aggression.
Kougras were first discovered in the deep forests of [[Mystery Island]] feasting on the exotic fruits found there. This would seem to indicate that their main [[wikipedia:frugivore|diet]] consists primarily of fruit instead of meat, unlike their real-life counterparts. Kougras have enormous paws that come in handy when they practice pouncing and playing with each other. Although Kougras enjoy to hunt it is mainly done for fun since once they have caught their target, [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=3&id=77 they're never really sure what to do with it].


The Kougra seems to have been modelled off of the tiger, with slight modifications to make it more appealing. These modifications include giving the Kougra large eyes and big paws, both of which are associated with youth, along with toning down the teeth and muscles that make natural tigers so intimidating. The Kougra also has notches in its ears and tufts in its fur, adding to the illusion of playfulness and spontaneity.
In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of Fire.
 
The Kougra was introduced upon the [http://neopets.com/newfeatures/aug2000.phtml discovery of the 'Mystery Isle'] as one of several potential pets, on 3rd August 2000. As ''Tiger Cub'' it won the user vote and was released as a pet on the 9th August 2000.
