KIDS TALK BACK:All about cougars

Third-graders from Huntington Beach’s Hope View Elementary School visited the Environmental Nature Center in Newport Beach for a program about cougars. The Daily Pilot asked students, “What did you learn about cougars?”

“We learned that they need lots of habitat to be alive. They need lots of shelter.”
