Orphaned cougar cubs Link and Nova debut at Oregon Zoo, raising awareness about their species.

Two orphaned cougar cubs, Link and Nova, rescued in November, are exploring their outdoor habitat at the Oregon Zoo. The cubs, weighing around 70 and 50 pounds respectively, were previously closed off to visitors but are now viewable from a public area in small groups. The zoo plans to open the viewing area daily in the future. The siblings serve as ambassadors for their species, highlighting the challenges cougars face in the wild.
