Bowling pins allow lions, jaguars, and mountain lions to exercise their natural instincts in El Paso

EL PASO, Texas -- What do balls of yarn, laser pointers, and bowling pins have in common? The El Paso Zoological Society would say cats like to play with them!

While yarn and skittish red lights entertain our furry friends at home, lions, jaguars, and mountain lions (Oh, my!) in El Paso are now exercising their natural instincts with bowling pins donated by Oasis Lanes El Paso. Events and Social Media Manager Olivia Siqueiros said the wooden pins simulate things they would find out in nature, such as scratching up a tree.

"It's good to have them because they're not so easily destroyed," Siqueiros said.

The animals have previously received donations of beer kegs from Dead Beach Brewery to play with as well.
