Much has been written about the intelligence of animals, particularly around their use of tools, this being considered a very evolved skill. If that's so, what can you say about a cougar who makes a snowball and plays with it??!!

Each year, one of our resident cougars, Sandy, does just that ... and sometimes pictures speak louder than words, so please enjoy the photos below. (Oh, and p.s. - if you'd like to know more about Sandy read about her here, where you can sponsor this fabulously intelligent feline!)
