February adventure...an hour's drive to this wildlife sanctuary...they rescue lions, tigers, bears and other large animals from private homes, small circuses and other habitats unsuitable for this gorgeous animals. They have 320 acres and after a period of readjustment, the animals are placed into family-type groups with lots of room to roam...not perfect but MUCH better than where they were. That big guy in the middle is the head of this pride.
He's by himself for now...will gradually get to meet other tigers.
This is a really big warehouse where all the meals are prepared...mostly by volunteers. All the viewing areas are elevated...less stress on the animals. I will definitely be going back in the summer when they're open until dusk and the animals are more active.
