About The Big Cat House
Walk into the big cat house and the air changes, cooler, closer, carrying a faint musk that reminds you exactly what kind of animal is watching from the shadows. The great cats move with a deliberate, unhurried grace, each step placed like a thought, tail swaying behind them. From the rosette-patterned jaguar to the long-limbed serval frozen mid-stalk, every enclosure holds a small, breathtaking piece of the wild world.
