The Wildlife Park is home to a female cougar (Zoe) and a male cougar (Fraser).  

Description: Cougar are large tawny cats with long dark-tipped tails. Their back is a pale brown with a buff to white belly. The ears are short and rounded, with dark backs; these cats have heavy powerful legs and large feet. Juvenile cougars have spots which they lose around 1 year of age. 

Distribution: Cougar have a wide range, being found from Canada to Argentina. They are a solitary predator hunting during the day and night. 

Diet: These cats feed primarily on large mammals like deer, bighorn sheep, elk, and even young moose; they may travel up to 25 miles (40 km) in one night in search of food!

Behaviour: These felines are fantastic climbers and excellent jumpers, able to leap forward more than 20 feet (6 m)!  Usually silent, the cougar can produce many kinds of sounds, including screams, hisses, and growls. The male has a large home range that typically does not overlap with that of another male. The newborn kittens are raised only by the female; at three months, the young are weaned and begin hunting with the mother.    

In 2000, the Park became home for three captive bred lynx from Alberta.

Description: The Canada lynx has very thick, light brown or gray coat. It has large ears with long black tufts at the ends similar to those of the bobcat. The lynx has a short black tipped tail, long legs, large paws (which help it to hunt hares over deep snow), and a ruff of fur around the neck.  

Distribution: The lynx's range extends over most of Canada and Alaska and south into the US.  They live in deep coniferous forests and prefer rocky areas, bogs and swamps.

Diet: Roughly 75% of their diet consists of snowshoe hares, and historically, a lynx population will rise and decline in the same way that the hare population does. They also eat rodents, birds and even larger animals like deer on occasion.

Behaviour: Lynx are solitary hunters, great climbers and have been known to scale trees to pursue prey.  Females average two to four spotted kittens per litter.  Young are fully weaned at three months and will eat meat as early as one month. Kittens stay with their mother for the first year and siblings may stay together for a time after that.  By nature, lynx are very territorial and solitary requiring very large home ranges.
