BIG CAT KID'S TOUR!

[MooCow354]

does BCR do breeding or do you fix all of your animals?

[BigCatRescue]

@MooCow354 No we do not breed, this would be adding to the problem of big cats living their lives in cages, instead we can use our resources to rescue animals and work towards better laws regarding these animals :)

Godd , camerons roars scared me a little

[VoidedMirror]

It's great to instill love for all animals at an early age.

[lpsabi]

why isn't zabu with the other tigers?

[BigCatRescue]

@lpsabi She was rescued along with Cameron the male lion, they were living together and must have been raised together from a young age so they got along. Any cats we rescue that are living together we try and keep them together so they have some companionship, so we fixed them both and they share a 2 acre enclosure :) Tigers are solitary by nature as are all cats except lions, so if we introduced Zabu to another tiger they would have fought.

lol omg cameron, i cant see him but i sure can hear him!! zabus so pertty:) i hope i get to c her one day!

[BigCatRescue]

Hope you make it to the sanctuary some day too, thanks for watching!

[pinkprincesshottie]

This is such a wonderful way to educate the youth!

It's great to see kids exploring the world of big cats in such a great, positive environment as opposed to a zoo or a circus!

=)

[BigCatRescue]

Thanks for the comment, I think the kid's really enjoy the tour at Big Cat Rescue compared to zoos etc.. where they are behind glass most of the time.

[jelly17000]

Wow, I'd love to hear the pretty sounds each big cat makes. He(Jeff) was describing their communication and it made me want to sit and listen to those cats for an afternoon. Too bad I'm not in Florida or I'd go on a tour!

[BigCatRescue]

jelly17000, I know what you mean I could do that too, funny that you should mention the cat sounds, I'm currently filming all these guys making their weird noises for a future podcast, it just takes a while and they always do it when you haven't got your camera! But stay tuned, thanks for watching!

[jelly17000]

Awesome! Thanks for all the work you do :D

That binturong reminds me of an anteater.

How did you get a binturong?

[BigCatRescue]

vickiormindyb, before we were known as Big Cat Rescue our name was wildlife on Easy St, Easy st being our physical address. So we have a few omnivores living on property, civets, genet cavy and Banjo the Binturong. He was used as an educational animal (being shown at schools etc) and he retired at BCR.

[Sephiroth139]

He didn't mention leopards as a big cat that likes to swim, but I thought that leopards, tigers and jaguars are the three big cats that are very good at and enjoy swimming. Was I wrong? Do leopards not like the water?

[BigCatRescue]

You're right Leopards can and do swim, I guess Jeff the tour guide just chose not to mention the leopard as to cause confusion with the kids.

Well spotted though!

[vickiormindyb]

My daughter cried over the fate of those dogs. We couldn't finish reading her the book and had to tell her the dogs were okay.

Her DAD told her they became 101 mascots for 101 fire departments. Silly, yes, but he always made her feel better.

[xenibear]

ohh no i dont mean it offensively tho!

i love it! hes so friendly and happy sounding!

[Rusty6250]

that's a very good idea!

[WildlifeMediaChannel]

That's good there is tours to educate children

of these animals.Godd job BigCatRescue, thanks for the video!

[xenibear]

that looks so fun but omg the tour guide sounds like kermit the frog?!

[synschecter]

OMG! Ur right

[ShallAdoreCats]

They are all so beautiful. So wonderful how informative the tour is.

[Taranau]

A more woodsy place than the Wildlife Waystation,here in the Los Angeles.Looks like a fun place to visit.

[Taranau]

looks more like a badger or bearcat,to me.

[ribbonstheclown]

I want to hear them "saw" and Chuck" I couldn't hear the chucking to well.

Ribbons the clown

[wisfamily]

WHat a wonderful VERY informative opportunity for the kiddos and parents alike! I love how the message is given about WHY you dont want these cats as PETS.... Great Job guys!

[CincinnatiKid33]

whoa. a binturong. looks like a mix between a mongoose and a lynx

[wolfydan121]

do all your tigers have a wading pool? i love watching them bathe in the water!

[endagerdspecies]

cool

[dreamynights]

I'd be so excited to go there and learn all about the cats. Some of the kids look bored! They probably dont really understand much about it though.

[vickiormindyb]

Who's that guy leading the tour? I've never seen him in a Big Cat video.

He's funny.

[BigCatRescue]

The tour guide is Jeff Kremer, he volunteers at the weekend and some weekdays, his tours have got a good reputation, both for the kid's and adult tours.

[Angecool1998]

hehee this is a wonderful way to learn abuot the cats! i think its a great idea

[pizzledizzlewizzle]

way too cool! wish I lived in florida so I could visit

[pmssrd]

It's great that you do the tours geared to the little ones.  Kids should learn from an early age to treat animals with respect and kindness -- and to learn all the ways they can help both captive and wild animals.
