If you want to get attached to a great animal, visit the two new young Tigers. Yes, 2 more are at the zoo.
Aren’t they awesome? Well they aren’t real trained for the public yet. Here is a video the white one Pooping in the Pool.
Yes, I am neglecting this blog. If you want to contribute photos or articles, contact Larry K cragun @yahoo.com or 206.618.3724
It is too late to see them this size…
but not to late to see how great they are…
Maybe next time eh?
Next time what cat will it be?
One or should I say three of the fuzzy and warm animals you find at the Cougar Mountain Zoo. This non profit needs your support. They are saving their pennies to ad more exotic animals. Have you seen the two baby or should I say teenage Tigers?
These little guys are so easy to feed and enjoy. Come and visit.
8-week old Royal White Bengal Tiger ‘Almos’

This photo was taken when Almos’ was an 8-week old Royal White Bengal Tiger. He was about 12 pounds then. Add 300 to that now, 14 months later. However, he and his buddy Taj still have an amazing effect on me. I am truly glad we had an encounter with them.
macaws at Cougar Mountain Zoo 001

The macaws at Cougar Mountain Zoo are interesting birds. I like the fact we can get so close to them. As you visit you might wonder what keeps them on their perch?
They are territorial that is why. So explains Robyn: They don’t leave their perch as the perch is theirs. They are so territorial they won’t leave to prevent another from taking their perch.
As many times as I have been there – I have never seen two together like this. I have seen their handlers pick them up for demonstration purposes, otherwise they don’t leave.
So many years I drove past this sign in ignorance…. I say that because I assumed this was a little farm type of zoo. After all our kids own a little farm with horses, cows, and chickens. Then we started writing blogs about Issaquah and became much more curious about our town. We discovered the Cougar Mountain Zoo. This is a great place – one of our favorite parts of Issaquah. We hope you discover it too. Family memeberships are the way to go. We will add to this blog often – so come back and visit, we will keep you informed.

This is about how big they are now.
Here is part a post I wrote on the Seattle P I Real Estate Professionals blog. (The full article)
What’s in your neighborhood? What is the favorite thing you enjoy about where you live? Northgate – The Mall? Jaunita – The beach? Kirkland – Downtown? Fremont – Woodland Park? Maple Valley – A nice rural drive? Bellevue – Bellevue Square?
These have been my favorites in the over 30 years I have lived here.
But my recent favorite had been a hidden opportunity, the Cougar Mountain Zoo. This place gets so little fan fare many locals just don’t bother finding it. That is my story. Looking for something to write about last winter, my wife Kathleen braved the weather and visited the Reindeer Festival at Cougar Mountain Zoo.
