One Year with Rescued Cougar Sullivan
April 13, 2026

Rescued, resilient, and now thriving, male cougar Sullivan is celebrating his one-year anniversary at Northwest Trek. To mark the milestone, Sullivan enjoyed a special carcass feed. This enrichment activity encourages natural behaviors like chewing, tearing, and problem-solving while keeping him physically and mentally engaged.

Sullivan’s journey began when he was found alone as a young cub in critical condition, severely malnourished and dehydrated. With dedicated, round-the-clock care from the animal care team, he made an incredible recovery. Today, Sullivan continues to grow stronger, exploring his habitat and showing the instincts that make cougars such powerful and adaptable animals.
