Lions and tigers and bears...seven bucks!
This sanctuary houses and cares for exotic animals from all over the world, including those with special needs like injuries and other medical conditions. Coming from both captivity and the wild, this collection of creatures includes foxes, lemurs, servals, wallabies and several varieties of reptiles. The Foundation provides educational programs on-site and throughout the local communities, and depends on donations and grants to sustain the business.
Guided tours are available, but (unlike the animals) you're also free to roam about and watch as massive snow leopards and bobcats are fed and attended to by handlers who'll happily answer your questions.
Over 1,000 pounds of meat are fed to the animals each day. After witnessing a Siberian Tiger devour chicken parts, bones and all, you may rethink that Popeye's lunch you were planning on.
