A couple weeks ago my friend Heather told me about a Wildlife Conservatory in Saline that we needed to check out. Over the weekends, they give small presentations about a featured animal of the month....and this month is the baby Cougar! Brett was so excited to go visit him and see the other animals too!!
When we arrived, we noticed many animals outside, including these beautiful Macaws!
We went straight to the Cougar as soon as we walked in...and she was happily playing with her toys :-) I have to admit though, seeing her all by herself in such a small area definitely made me sad. I never got the story of why she is in captivity, but no matter what the answer, I wish she could be in the wild where she belongs.
After visiting with her and some of the other animals, it was time for the presentation! Brett was in awe and so was I!
After the show, we visited with some more animals.....
The Praire Dogs were my favorite....after the cougar of course :-)
We had such a great time and already can't wait to go back!!! Easier to get to and cheaper than the zoo - ha!
