Burgas Zoo welcomes the only cougars in Bulgaria – see them now

The new stars of Burgas Zoo: Rare pumas have arrived in our country

Two extremely rare and impressive animals can now be seen at Burgas Zoo – young pumas, the only representatives of their species in Bulgaria. The big cats arrived from a friendly zoo and are already adapting to their new home.

The pair is about ten months old. The male is named Stanley and is quickly winning over visitors with his social and curious character. The female does not have a name yet.

Living conditions and adaptation

The pumas' new home spans an area of over half a decare and is equipped with everything necessary for their comfort and development:

• Spacious areas for movement
• Climbing spots
• Shelters for tranquility
• Special play areas

Curious facts about pumas

Become a guardian of a puma

The big cats have not been adopted yet. The zoo is looking for symbolic "guardians" among animal lovers and local businesses to support the care of these majestic predators.
