NEW WELCOME CENTER & EXPANDED COUGAR EXHIBIT BRINGS A CROWD
The Wildwood Zoo just keeps getting wilder, with new additions
sure to delight visitors and its animal residents. Marshfield is
made new once again with the new Cougar Exhibit and Welcome
Center at Wildwood Park & Zoo, which was opened to the
public on October 25, 2019. The natural habitat cougar exhibit
proudly bears the names of locals Floyd and Pat Hamus, who
made a generous donation to the project and helped make the
expansion possible.
The goal of the expansion was to connect people to the cats’
environment through educational experiences while providing
professional care for the animals. The 11-year old cougar siblings,
Star and Thunder, love this upgrade to their home which boasts
nearly ten times the size of their previous space.
Zookeeper Steve Burns explained at the October Ribbon Cutting
Ceremony, “The sandstone structures in the exhibit give the cats a
more naturalistic, arid environment mimicking the American West.
It was thoughtfully designed to encourage natural cougar behavior
and offer premier viewing opportunities for our patrons. This is a true
testament to the appreciation the community shares for Wildwood.
This zoo is truly a gem in Marshfield.”
