Animal of the Month: Mountain Lion
Each month, the keepers at Zooamerica choose one of our many incredible animal species to feature as the Animal of the Month. Special fun facts about the animal and a themed activity sheet are available for guests upon arrival at admissions. At 1 PM each weekend day, there is a special activity at the habitat of that animal, allowing the keepers to educate about the amazing species and its importance to the natural world.
