This was a great place that rescues abandoned, abused, and neglected big cats and provides them with a life-long home. They also had a bear, birds, and monkeys. We got robbed of seing the white tiger because you had to go on a guided tour to see him. It was pretty hot outside and J-man was throwing a royal fit so we didn't think we could make it another 1/2 hr. till the tour started. We had already raided the gift shop and taken a water/ snack break. Jordon got away with a t-shirt and a couple new books. I was really impressed with how close you could get to the animals; I have never been to a zoo where you could get that close. One of the tigers looked at Jordon like he could have been a morsel.... then again, maybe he just wanted him to shut his screaming piehole. They say that if you come late in the afternoon, they are more active because it's feeding time. They were pretty active though in the morning when we went. We saw a couple tigers running and playing together, and one kept jumping in the water tank and chewing on his large plastic ring. One panther (or jaguar, not sure which) was scaling the sides of his cage when we walked by. Hard to imagine people keeping these animals as pets. I'm glad there are places like this that take care of them; this place was pretty awesome.
