Wildlife Prairie State Park The cougars were let out just before noon. Tipper came out first and checked things out, then when Hillary joined her she ran up and started licking her. They roamed around quite a bit checking things, sharpening their claws, even climbing a couple trees (so Tippers injury seems to have healed nicely). They seem quite happy there.
