Wildwood Zoo Says Goodbye to a Star

Wildwood Zoo Announces the Passing of Star, Beloved Mountain Lion.

The City of Marshfield Parks & Recreation Department announces with deep sadness the passing of Star, the resident mountain lion at Wildwood Zoo. Star was 17 years old at the time of her death and considered extremely geriatric for her species. She would have celebrated her 18th birthday this June, an age few mountain lions reach, either in the wild or under human care.

Star had been a cherished member of the Wildwood Zoo family for many years, admired by visitors and staff alike for her quiet strength and dignified presence. She arrived at our park back in 2008, with her
brother Thunder, who passed approximately two years ago. In recent weeks, animal care staff observed changes in her behavior, including a decreased appetite and lower activity levels. Out of an abundance
of caution, a comprehensive veterinary examination was scheduled. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
