Pegla

Pegla (born January 22, 1979) is an artist, fursuiter, and founder of the Dutchfurs.com website and co-founder of Cytag. He is an anthropomorphic cartoon skunk. The name means flat-iron (for clothes) in Serbian. Pegla was, in his early years in the fandom, known as SimbaIII due to his affinity with everything that has to do with The Lion King.

Dutchfurs
In 2002, he founded Dutchfurs.com which took over the function of the declining furrysearch.com. The original intention was to become a full portal for Dutch Furries but these days the website is a frontend of many hosted websites and domains and its main feature is a news ticker, the servers are being provided by stormdragon.org.

Since Eurofurence 15 he is active in the Artshow-team and as the artist for the cartoons in the Daily Eurofurence

TreeCon
Pegla hosted two Dutch Conventions, known as TreeCon Zero and TreeCon 2. The conventions where held in Hotel Triton in Zandvoort, the Netherlands.

Artwork
Pegla has been an artist since the early years of his life. His media are conventional, digital and 3D media. Between 2004 and 2007 much of his work could be seen on national television in various countries in Europe. This was also one of the main reasons he did not produce much 'furry' artwork in that time period.

Fursuit
Pegla's fursuit character is Thabo a meerkat with giant glasses. Thabo was built by Jill0r.

Hobbies
Pegla's favorite pastimes include seeing friends, watching movies and playing City of Heroes as well as City of Villains, both on the US servers. He is actively involved with several 'Supergroups', namely the ASPCA, Academica Vindica, The Embassy, Dark Angel Chapter and the Zenvious Foundation.
