As any parent will tell you, bringing home a baby is joyful and stressful and memorable. Recently Robyn Barfoot and the other zookeepers at Cougar Mountain Zoo experienced that same mix of emotion times three! Their little bundles of joy are covered in spotted fur and have whiskers and paws! Yes, they are the proud new parents of three cougar cubs!
Born May 20, the male and two female cougars have made Cougar Mountain Zoo their new home. They have spent the past few weeks growing and playing and getting ready to meet you!
This Saturday, July 16th, the three cougar cubs will make their public debut at 10:30 am and again at 2:30 pm. The zoo plans to continue that viewing schedule on a daily basis, weather and staff permitting.
Witnessing these now tiny cougar cubs playing and enjoying zoo enrichment qualifies as a MACARONI MUST! It is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you and your kids.
Macaroni Kid has also heard a "sneak peak" is planned for Friday, July 15th sometime between 12:45 and 1:30 pm.
