The Turpentine Creek Song By Larry Burton Crocker
Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge make room for two cougars who arrived in the back of a pick up truck.
Sierra the tigress enjoys a mid summer treat of a partially frozen raw chicken breast. Sierra has digestive problems, spine problems all because when she was a pet she was fed a diet of dog food. Tigers are not like dogs, they must have fresh red meat and lots of it. If they don't they do not delope properly. Someone had this tiger as a pet and didn't properly provide for her needs. Now she will live the rest of her life damaged because of it. Tigers do not belong as private pets. Sierra was rescued by Turpentine Creek and will live out her life there in retirement getting a special diet. She is joined by LOTS of tigers, lions, Cougars and more.
Watch the cubs, Mack and BB King, playing in the yard while we get ready to feed them.
Here is a video of the cubs eating at the Refuge. Check it out.
Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge traveled to Missouri to get a 16 year old bear. The bear, Coco, found himself needing a new home when his owner had to sell his land and house to move to Florida to be with his ill wife.
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.
Wanoka, a bobcat, arrived at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge on may 30, 2007. He had been baught as a pet from a breeding facility in Tishomingo, Oklahoma for $300! We must work together to stop this irresponsible breeding and selling of native species. See www.turpentinecreek.org for more information.
A single cougar shows up at the refuge in the back of pick up.
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.

This tigers name is Reese. She is stalking and hissiing at a big black snake that slithered into her naturalistic habitat yard. It is so funny, she is peaking at the snake, hissing and then hopping backwards. Reese was rescued & brought to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs Arkansas where she will live out her life with as much diginity as possible. It is not the same as freedom but is the next best thing to being free. Visit Turpentine Creek's website to learn more about Reese.
