Interns with Khan and China


Khan and China were laying together being cute but of course when we try to take a picture with them they get up and move around.  Cats will be cats!

Joseph ROARING!!!!

I know the video quality isn't very good but at least I finally have a recording a a lion roaring.  It is amazing to be standing in front of him. His entire body shakes and the force of it kind of slams into you.  A lion can hear another lions roar up to 5 miles away.  Us humans with inferior hearing can only hear it up to 2 miles away.

Apollo and Zeus: Siberian Lynx

Apollo and Zeus get a little cranky when they are hungry.  Turn up the volume and listen!  I like to call them the hufflepuffs! They huff and puff but the house never falls down  :)

Reno climbs his tree to get his zebra

All summer there have been kids on site for summer camp.  Two interns and a teacher spend four days teaching the kids about cats and touring the sanctuary.  On the last day we give the cat of their choice a big enrichment item that the kids made.  They chose to make a zebra to put in Reno the leopards tree.  The kids did a great job, and Reno does too!  Sorry my filming skills are lacking.
