This male African Lion is having a fit as his keeper tries to open his gate and let them out into their big yard. Can you imagine having this in your backyard? How many attacks can you find if you do an internet search? LOTS! Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Cougars, Bobcats and many other wild animals, exotic cats, are sadly kept in people's back yards. Most of them meet tragic fates in the end. This grumpy lion was one of the lucky few who was rescued by a sanctuary. A true sanctuary does not breed, do not buy, do not sell nor do they allow the public to pet the animals. Winter is coming fast, the costs in caring for these rescued lions, tigers, bears and more sky rockets in the winter.

Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is a wildlife sanctuary devoted mainly to lions, tigers, cougars and black bears. I have been given the privilege of working with them to help build a video presence and a goodies section on their website. On the website's goodies section you will find screensavers, wallpapers and puzzles of lions, tigers, cougars and black bears. The long range goals are to provide large naturalistic habitat yards for all the animals at Turpentine Creek and to help change laws on exotic pet ownership to hopefully prevent more cats from needing rescue and sanctuaries.
Tigers do NOT make good pets. Tgers do as tiger do when and where they choose. Why would anyone buy a cute baby tiger cub, know it will grow up to do this.......? I tok this video at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge.
Hi, here is a short summary of a photo shoot called: Photo Wild. It was at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This is only PART of the shots, just a tiny sampling of what I got that morning. YOU NEVER TOUCH the cats. There is ALWAYS a fence between and a watchful gaurd by you. You can put you lens right up to the fence and get amazing shots without fencing in the photos. It is early morning and the cats are just being turned out for the day so they are active and inquisitive and anxious to run around marking their territory. This was really fun.
Male lions have a job and that is to protect their pride and territory. The females do most of the hunting. They are designed to roan, hunt and live free. Sadly this majestic wild animal has often been reduced to nothing more than a backyard cage ornament. It never works out well for the exotic cats. The lucky ones, like the ones in this vieo, end up at a sanctuary. Sanctuary facilites are burstingly over full. They need YOUR help to build more yards, feed these rescued wild animals and provide for their needs. Visit the websites in this video to see if there is something YOU can do to help.

Sierra is a tigress tat lives at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. She must always have a special diet because she is a former private pet whose digestive system was damaged because she was fed and improper diet of dog food. Tigers do not belong as pets. Too many of them, like Sierrra are not properly cared for, then get dumped when they are no longer cubs. We need to suport places who truly care for these animals and do NOT breed, do NOT sell and do NOT exploit these cats y letting the public pet them or make them perform unnatural stunts.
I love big cats. Here is a short video clip of "Boss". Boss is an African Lion that was rescued by Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. He lives in a HUGE naturalistic habitat yard nestled in the the hills around Eureka Springs, Arkansas. He always has his nose to the wind sniffing for interesting smells. When he stands majestically in the soft blowing Ozark Mountain breeze his extremely long dark mane sways with the wind making you feel like you have just met Mufasa or Simba from the Lion King movie. YOU Can even adopt or sponsor Boss.
A tiger is stalking a big snake that is slithering through is habitat yard. It inquisitively watches the snake then jumps away. It is so funny. If you want wallpapers, screensavers or jigsaw puzzles of big cats visit www.ZooFun4u.com/TCWR/
Hercules the tiger is growling as he attacks his big toy balls. It is so funny.
