NOVEMBER BIRTHDAYS
Barnum
Male Bengal Tiger Born November 9, 1993
Barnum will be 14 years old this month. Barnum was seized from a Spanish Circus and he arrived from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Brownsville, Texas. He was named by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Visit Barnum's home page to see some great videos of Barnum playing with his pickle and his boomer ball!
Whoofers
Female Bengal Tiger Born November 13, 1988
Whoofers will be 19 years on November 13th. Whoofers is the second oldest tiger at the Sanctuary, and probably one of the sweetest. Whoofers will always greet her friends with a "chuff," which is a tiger's way of saying hello. She likes to have those she trust sit by her habitat and spend time with her. Visit our website to see a video of Whoofers playing with her tire.
Simba III
Male Bengal Tiger Born November 23, 1995
Simba III will be 12 years old this month. Simba arrived back in 1997 after the USDA seized him from a petting zoo. He was extremely malnourished and was over 100 lbs. underweight. Since then, Simba has had a full recovery. He now lives in a spacious habitat with a house, grass, trees and a pool with a waterfall. When you visit, you may be able to see catch a shot of Simba in his waterfall! Click here to learn more about Simba!
Lexus
Male Lion Born November 24, 1995
Lexus will also be 12 years old this month. This year, Lexus didn't want to wait for Halloween to get his pumpkin so he grew his own. Watch the video of the IEAS keeper as they cut down the wild pumpkin and give it to Lexus for enrichment!
JUST A REMINDER
If you still have your Halloween pumpkins around, don't throw them out! Bring them to the Sanctuary! All of the animals love them! The cats love to play with them and the bears... well, they love to eat them!
