It's Wild Cat Saturday At Stone Zoo

Special day of activities geared toward cougar and snow leopards starts at 10 a.m.

They're big, powerful, and cat quick. And yes, sometimes they're even cute.

Go WILD for Stone Zoo’s big cats as the zoo spotlights its cougar and snow leopards Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Guests are invited to learn more about these felines and hear from specialists Ken Miller of The Cougar Network and Jennifer Snell-Rullman of The Snow Leopard Trust.

Don’t miss your chance to see the adorable snow leopard cubs in action on exhibit (the cute part)! The zoo will also be offering big cat-themed crafts and activities throughout the day.
