– Two male cougar cubs, found alone in Washington state, have found a new home at the Houston Zoo, the zoo said Thursday.The zoo said shortly after sending out the word that the facility had room and expertise to care for cougars, the Washington State Fish & Wildlife Services contacted the zoo when a rancher found two orphaned cubs on his property.
“At an estimated four weeks old when found in late October, it was unlikely the cubs would have survived on their own,” the zoo said in a news release. “Within days, the duo flew to the Lone Star State and are settling into life at the Houston Zoo. The cubs will remain behind the scenes as they get comfortable with their caregivers.
The Houston Zoo said it plans to share updates on the pair on its social media pages as they continue to grow and will invite the public to meet them after they are introduced to their new habitat.
