Once they become a tad stronger, the cubs will be transferred to North Carolina Zoo

Last week, folks working with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in the United States rescued three cougar cubs that were found wondering around in the wild.

The cubs are orphans and had opened their eyes just a few days before they were found, which is why their rescuers decided that it would be best to bring them to the Oregon Zoo.

Thus, the baby cougars have been adopted by staff at this facility, and are now getting all the love and attention – plus food and shelter – that they need to grow strong and healthy.

Zoo Borns says that, had they not been rescued and brought to the Oregon Zoo, the cubs surely would not have survived in the wild.

This is because, at just two weeks of age, they could not possibly make do without a mother to nurse them, look after them and teach them a thing or two about the world.

The same source tells us that, as much as they might like their new home, the cubs will not remain here forever. On the contrary, they will be moved to the North Carolina Zoo once they become a tad stronger.
