Cougars at Dreamworld
A leopard can’t change his spots but a cougar can! Inca and Sierra arrived at Dreamworld as playful kittens covered with spots, nine years on, these stunning cats still call Tiger Island home.
Also known as pumas, panthers and mountain lions, these graceful cats hunt like a lion and purr like a kitten.
The playful pair is stealing the spotlight from their stripy feline friends at Tiger Island everyday at 4.15pm for a presentation filled with plenty of fun and plenty of facts. Also keep your eyes peeled during the day as you might see Inca and Sierra wandering the park with their handlers.

Inca
Inca is one of our 2 Cougars and she was born in New
South Wales. Inca and her sister Sierra were hand raised at Dreamworld from
three weeks of age. Inca is by-far the braver of the sisters, on daily walks
around Dreamworld Inca confidently strolls around checking out all of her
surrounds. Inca also has quite a ‘diva’ type of attitude, she is very picky over
when she will accept affection from the handlers, but when in a good mood her
loud purring is very comforting

Sierra is one of our 2 Cougars and was born in New South Wales. Sierra and her sister Inca were hand raised at Dreamworld from three weeks of age.
