Cat Tales

What a horrible experience! - Cat Tales Zoological Park

Elephants and fire have made significant changes to the environment over the past forty years — it is much more open today. If you had to use three words to sum up the Masai Mara, what would they be? Why did you fall in love particularly with big cats? There is an aura to big cats that has always made them our favourite. They are so beautiful, yet being predators there is always that tension, the sense that they can transform in an instant from a peaceful sleeping cat to a sublime hunter.

Angie has always been fascinated by the social interaction of lions: For me it has always been the leopard. They are so enigmatic and mysterious, so clever at concealing themselves. They give nothing away and you have to spend years in their company to truly understand their true nature. It took me six years to write my first book on leopard — that is how difficult it was in the s to find, let alone photograph, a wild leopard.

What is the most valuable lesson you have learned from watching the cats? We are inspired by spending so much time with nature.

Lyrics to the Songs on the CD

It helps to remind us of the gift of life, that death is a natural part of life; something none of us can avoid. Watching an old lion in the twilight of its years, still determined to cling to life, despite its age and the inevitable injuries; this makes us value and respect our own lives.

You have spent a lot of time among the big cats. Have you ever felt in danger? We are often asked this, but in reality wild animals just want to be left alone and will generally move away from humans, particularly people on foot. The animals in the Mara are so habituated to vehicles now that they tend to ignore people in safari wagons.

But if you push an animal and approach too close particularly if they have young , that can be a recipe for disaster. I fear more for the animals themselves.

It is really important for people to treat animals with respect — particularly cheetahs with cubs. The latest studies in the Mara show that cheetahs raise fewer cubs in high-density tourist areas. Cheetahs are daylight hunters in the main so are more likely to be hindered by visitors disturbing a hunt. And when a cheetah has cubs she is constantly under pressure from lions and hyenas and leopards and jackals at times , so the added stress of tourists wanting to see and get close to young cubs may mean that a cheetah mother feels she should move her cubs to a new den — in the process exposing them to all kinds of danger.

Do you fear for the future of the big cats? Big cats are under pressure throughout the world due to loss of habitat, loss of natural prey, conflict with livestock holders and, in some cases, the trade in body parts and skins. Most big cats need large home ranges or territories; as does man.

All of the big cats have lost vast areas of their natural habitat to man. Humanity is squeezing our last wild places off the planet. It is estimated there are now barely cheetahs, with lions said to number around 20, to 25, individuals and leopards in the low hundreds of thousands.

What more can be done to protect them? Most people are aware that big cats are diminishing across their range. Very overpriced and they charge for infants. This was the most horrible "zoo" I have ever been to. It is not a zoo, it is a big cat kennel.

We were married in the Mara in and still have a base there. Reviewed April 23, I had my mother-in-law to tea, she wishes her son hadn't married me Mom goes "Hmmm, tough pastry" What a horrible experience! Toucan Nation is about Grecia, a colorful toucan whose story sparks international outrage after her beak is mutilated. You're opening the fridge. Show reviews that mention.

I am against circuses, on the fence about zoos. Other zoos I have been to have been very nice with lot's of room for the animals to roam and be free and happy. The animals looked miserable and unhealthy at Cat Tales. Do not waste your money or time to drive here, you will be disappointed, and depressed for these poor animals.

I want my money back! Next time my kids can learn about Big cats from the television or wait till we go to a real zoo or animal park where they can actually afford to treat the animals as they should be treated, what a rip off for all involved!

Oh yes, and in the dirt, in the middle of the cages, you can see several stones with dedication to the animals that have died there, that should tell you something Anyone that this place was great clearly could care less about the animals and just wanted to see them up close. I will give Cat Tales that, the cat's are right in your face, how sad for the cat's to have to live their lives that way The Park was interesting but when we were asked if we wanted a tour we learned so much. It is a great place for family's.
