Update on Abu & Simba!

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

Abu & Simba, our Lions, are enjoying their large enclosure area very much! Yesterday we went in the enclosure with them to give them some exercise and interaction. Oh boy are they a handful! These boys are full of energy and never run out of batteries! Lions, especially males are usually very lazy, but not these lions! The minute we walked into their enclosure they immediate started to run up to us, and were jumping, diving, rolling, you name it. We love to see the energy they show us because we truly know they are happy. Abu and Simba still have a lot of growing to do, and we can’t wait for their manes to come in! If you would like to see more photos of Abu & Simba as they’ve grown up, then please visit their gallery.

Princess Sahima!

Friday, May 11th, 2012

Sahima our white Tiger Cub is growing up very quickly! It seems as if just yesterday she was only opening her eyes. She already shows her own individual personality, and is very calm and sweet by nature. She loves to be interacted with, and plays with a young Bernese Mountain Dog during the day (she usually uses him as a large pillow to take her naps). She is truly a special creature. You can meet Sahima in person on one of our very private and special tours! Yes, that’s right, you can actually meet our baby tiger cub in person and spend some time with her! We love to see the happy and excited faces of people who have always dreamed to be in the presence of a tiger cub. It is a great pleasure to make the dreams of many people come true on one of our tours.
