Cougar Rocks

From Canada to South America, East to West, the cougar has the largest range of any cat species in the Western Hemisphere! These amazing cats can be seen right here at Cougar Rocks. You may know them by another name- Mountain Lion, Puma, Florida Panther, or many others- but they’re all the same! The Cougars at Cougar Rocks can be found playing with their toys, climbing a tree, or napping on top of their waterfall, but don’t expect them to roar; Cougars are one of the largest of the purring cats and lack the vocal structure to roar but can make many other vocalizations.
