Animal extinction has become a major issue, and thus people are coming forward to conserve the species before it gets wiped out from the planet. Founded by Doc Antle, T.I.G.E.R.S Preservation center has risen to fame for the different species it preserves. Read on to find out the animals that you can see and interact with.
Ramses, the Cheetah
As Cheetahs are on the verge of getting extinct because of their #habitat loss, hence it is important to preserve them. Ramses is adopted from one of our conservation partners from South Africa. The tourist look at it with much wow when it runs at the speed of 60 mph. After the run, Ramses takes half an hour to catch his breath and relaxes before having lunch.
Ahren, African Fish Eagle
Ahren lives a beautiful life in Bhagavan Antle’s preservation station after it was rescued from Tanzania and received treatment for several months. Its loud cry, barbed feet and distinctive plumage are worth seeing.
Bubbles, the African Elephant
Do you know that more than 33,000 wild elephants are killed each year? Between the year 1970 and 1989, the population of #African #elephants were halved due to illegal #ivory trading. Bubbles was rescued in the late 1980s when her herd was killed. This 38 years old elephant is one of those lucky elephants who survived the ill fate. Weighing about 9000 pounds, Bubbles is the most interactive elephant in this unit.
Hercules, the Liger
Can you believe there are only a handful of #ligers left in the world? And you can find one in Doc Antle’s Tigers Preservation Unit. A crossbreed of a lion and tigress, Hercules weighs more than 900 pounds and is almost 11 feet tall. Holding a #Guinness Book of World Records three-time-winner, Hercules is a delight to watch during the tour.
Stripes, Siberian and Bengal Tigers
The decreasing number of the Bengal tigers have raised a concern among the animal activist. Henceforth, preserving them have become a must. Stripes are little tiger cubs which you can hold and play with. Similarly, you will also come across wolf cubs, who play and chase each other.
The Chimpanzees
#Chimpanzees once inhabited to almost 25 countries, but now they are extinct in five of those countries and are on the verge of getting extinct in five others. At the Tigers, you will be fascinated to see that the chimpanzees are able to use tools from nature and use American Sign Language to communicate with the humans.
The T.I.G.E.R.S has become the most talked about conservation unit as it has taken a step further to promote global conservation education via interactive and entertaining sessions under Bhagavan Antle. The tourist gets the opportunity to meet and interact with some of the iconic creatures that are seriously on the risk of extinction. Fly down to this station and enjoy the rare species.
