Going into Lions Tigers and Bears I expected to see many different kind of exotic animals, but what caught me off guard was one specific animal. When I arrived all I think I would encountered are lions, tigers, or bears however, there are many fascinating animals like the bobcats, donkey, and even a peacock that was there as well. Despite that, one animal that was there that got me jumpy and excited and it was a BLACK LEOPARD (aka Black Panther)! His name was Shadow, he was unfortunately in quarantine so no one was able to see this creature besides workers or volunteer. Shadow was actually a rescued a month before we started our internship. He was rescued from a closed down sanctuary in South Dakota, and he was in perfect health he was even overweight in fact. When I got to see it up close he was a beautiful creature and oddly had a really nice personality, it never once growled at me. I'm going to miss seeing him if he does leave one day since there isn't enough capacity to keep him. Love ya Shadow!
