Orphaned Cougar Cubs Find New Home at Zoo
9 Jun
Summary
- Two orphaned cougar cubs, male and female, have arrived at the zoo.
- The 10-week-old cubs weigh between 9 and 12 pounds each.
- They are currently in a 30-day quarantine before public viewing.
The Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens is now home to two new, orphaned cougar cubs. These young felines, a male and a female, are roughly 10 weeks old and each weigh between 9 and 12 pounds.
Their journey began in South Dakota, where they were found abandoned by their mother. Upon arrival at the zoo, they immediately entered a mandatory 30-day quarantine period, a standard procedure for new mammals.
While guests will have to wait a bit longer to see the cubs in person, the zoo is making preparations for their public debut later this year. Further updates on the cubs' adjustment are expected.
