Zanzibar lived in a garage and was abused by his first owner. His second owner had to give him up because he didn't have a permit.

Personality Traits

Zanzibar is the Sanctuary's spotted male leopard. Due to abuse in his past, he is extremely distrustful and wary of all humans, but particularly strangers. Over the last several years, he has come to trust some of the IEAS employees and volunteers. He now enjoys the company of Allie and Rasul, two white tigers in the enclosure next to his. Since Allie and Rasul moved next to him, Zanzibar has become more affectionate with them as well as with some of the employees at the Sanctuary. Most of the time he enjoys lying on his upper perch surveying the surroundings which is a vast improvement over his actions in prior years of spending most of the time hiding in his house.
