Except during breeding season, the cougar is a solitary animal. The female mountain lion usually gives birth to two or three spotted kittens. Cougars usually live to be eleven years old. The first and largest, the Canine, contains wolves, dogs, coyotes, foxes, and jackals. A wolf's color is extremely variable, particularly in northern latitudes.
Some wolves are snowy white, black or gray, or a mixture of fawn, cream, gray, white, and black.
Usually as the wolves age, their coats become lighter. Come see our newest addition, Bison. C ommon large birds in the Penn's Cave Wildlife Park include the Ruffed Grouse, our State Bird, which is predominantly gray or reddish brown, Wild Turkeys, and Mallard Ducks. Distinguished from domestic turkeys by the brown tips on tail feathers, Wild Turkeys feed on insects, fruit, nuts, grains and green plants, and are frequent guests at the elk and deer feeders. Mallards remain all year because the water is free of ice.
