Adorable Cougar Cubs Born at This Maine Zoo, and You Can See Them Some adorable new additions have arrived at Dew Haven in Mount Vernon. The Maine zoo shared a short video on its Facebook and Instagram pages showing off two new cougar cubs recently born. Now that these wild cats have joined the Dew Haven family, you can get the chance to see them and all their cuteness in person, not just in a social media clip. Baby Cougars Born at Dew Haven in Mount Vernon On August 29, Dew Haven revealed the exciting news on social media that two male cougar cubs were born on Thursday, August 13, 2026. Their names weren't listed, but I can't help but think some Maine-inspired names would be the way to go. Perhaps something like Baxter and Katahdin? Anyway, in the video, Dew Haven said that both cubs are healthy, thriving and "stealing our hearts." With the clips of them playing, rolling around, and napping, it's not hard to see why. I was surprised to see the cubs with some black spots, but apparently that's a normal thing. The Mountain Lion Foundation said that baby cougars "have camouflaging spots and rings around their tails that fade as they mature." When they get older, they have that classic tan-colored coat. Can You Visit the Cougar Cubs at Dew Haven in Mount Vernon, Maine? Turns out, the cute cubs will be available for viewing when you come to Dew Haven. In the social media post, the zoo said that it will have opportunities to view the cubs between noon and 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, but noted that viewing is never guaranteed. At the end of the day, it's all about the cubs' well-being. Have There Been Any Cougar Sightings in Maine? Good luck seeing a cougar out in the wilds of Maine. According to the Maine Wildlife Park, there used to be cougars in the state, but they were gone by the late 1800s with the last confirmed one killed in 1938. While there have been reported sightings over the years, there has been no official confirmation of their existence in Maine. So if you want to see one, a place like Dew Haven or the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray is where to go. Also, total aside, but how did I not realize that a cougar is a mountain lion is a puma? They are all the same thing, and Natural Habitat Adventures said its because various countries and locations, from Chile to Canada, have different names for the wild cat. Did you know that? You did didn't you.
