Big Cat Updates

Ginger Serval has been doing very well but today she is giving the keeper trouble taking her meds. One of the antibiotics she is on is Batril and she recognizes it in whatever they hide it in. Carole explains more in the "Zucari Goes on FunCation" video below.

The second Augmented Reality Zoo is being set up on Brower Westfield Mall Plantation, Florida. Carole, Jamie, and Victor have been working on that. They gave us a great space right by their food court.

Big Cat Rescue's own Susan Bass was interviewed for this article. It is a good read, check it out.

Update on Thurston Bobcat is in Carole Flash Briefing below.

Big Cat Fact

Serval has the biggest ears (compared to the rest of the body). Serval's ears serve as radars which easily recognize sound produced by moving animal (even when they are moving in the underground tunnels). Along with other senses, ears help them find the prey quickly. Illithia is tuned into something interested... - Jamie Veronica
