Cougar Mountain Zoo, Wildlife conservation facility in Issaquah, United States.
The 11-acre zoological park on the north slope of Cougar Mountain houses endangered species including Bengal tigers, lemurs, wolves, reindeer, and macaws.
Peter and Marcie Rittler established the zoo in 1972, operating it without admission fees for 15 years before donating it to the Zoological Society of Washington.
The Bronze Collection throughout the grounds presents animal sculptures, while the Wildlife Museum displays educational specimens donated by individuals.
The zoo welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Sunday between 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM, offering regular presentations and demonstrations by knowledgeable docents.
The glass-walled Tiger Tunnel enables visitors to observe Bengal tigers at close range, including a rare royal white tiger from a Florida preserve.
