feeding session at 5pm last evening. It is quite a time. They are fed chicken and ground beef, etc. All of the meat is donated by Wal-Mart or Tyson foods or local groceries that have expired meat. It is prepared and frozen in blocks and fed in a partially frozen state. The animals enjoy licking the frozen items especially in the hot summer weather you find here in Arkansas. Most of the big cats are out all year round however the smaller ones are taken inside to warmer facilities.
Last night, the big cats were "caroling" they call it. I called it growling, but it was interesting to hear them talk to one another. It seemed like
they were just establishing their dominance in the group and you better know that I am the "big boy" around here.
Our motorhome is parked about 50 feet away from some of the cages with a couple of tigers and a lion, however they are not noisy, but interesting to watch as they observe us.
Yesterday we had the opportunity to visit Eureka Springs for a little while and had a late lunch/early dinner at one of the local restaurants. This is a very unique town with lots to see and do. It is really a shoppers mecca, with every kind of shop you can imagine and if you did not find what you wanted, you just did not look in the right place.
If you are ever in the area of Eureka Springs, be sure to visit the Turpentine Creek Refuse, it is about 6 miles south of town.
