[QUOTE="KPRC2, post: 60070, member: 148"] Shasta VI, the University of Houston’s spirited mascot, has passed away due to progressive spinal disease on Thursday, the school announced. He was 10 years old. According to the university on their Facebook page, Shasta VI “represented the spirit and tenacity of UH’s students and alumni, and personified the resilience of the University.” Shasta VI moved to the Houston Zoo as a five-week-old cub after his mother was illegally killed by a hunter in 2011. Since then, he served as the university’s first live mascot since Shasta V in 1989, according to the university. He also became part of UH’s beloved traditions such as guarding the students’ class rings inside his habitat.
