JUNE BIRTHDAYS

Caesar

Male Siberian Tiger
Born: June 1, 1997
Arrived: February 1998

Caesar will be 13 years old this month. Caesar is a very active tiger and spends lots of time having fun with his perches, pool and a 31" red boomer ball. Caesar's red boomer ball is his favorite enrichment item by far. Every morning while we feed him, he rolls around his ball and jumps on top of it. He has even tried to bring it into his house a few times even though it doesn't fit. Watching Caesar try to take his 31" diameter boomer ball into his house through his 30" wide door opening is better than priceless!

Kim & Karen

Female Bengal Tigers
Born: June 16, 2008
Arrived: June 2009

Kim and Karen will be two years old this month. They were brought to IEAS by their caregivers to avoid licensing problems for their owners. These two girls now enjoy life in their new habitat that has a pool with a waterfall, perches and tress for shade. Kim and Karen enjoy playing in the pool most of the time. It doesn't matter what time of year it is. Even on the coldest day, you will see them jumping in and out of the pool playing together. They also enjoy playing with seasonal enrichment items like pumpkins. You will usually find pieces of it in the pool or water trough.

B.B.

Male Cougar
Born: June 18, 1993
Arrived: January 1995

B.B. will be 17 years old this month. While here, many interns will have a project that they get to work on throughout their internship. Whether it is building a pool, a waterfall, a cave or pouring a cement slab for a house, it is always something that will enrich the lives of the animals they are working for. Back in 2005, interns built a cave for B.B. To this day, B.B.'s cave remains his favorite spot in the summer. It is nice and cool and a very private place for him to hang out. He will go in there in the morning after eating and you will usually not see him again until the evening when it cools off a bit.

Katrina

Female Snow Leopard
Born: June 20, 1996
