Today was the first day we stepped foot in Lions Tigers and Bears, but the difference was today we spent our days as a visitor not an Intern just yet. The experience was just phenonmenal, to witness such a beautiful sight and all this big scary animals are just friendly creatures. Seeing them up close is just magnificent, but watching them eat and "mark their territory" are knarly. To hear some of the rescue storie and how much these animals went through was heartbreaking as well as satifying to see them in great homes now. One story that struck me was a Bobcat that was abuse so much for his urine that everytime a human presence is near he start shake uncontrollably and just urinate himself. Another fasinating story was Maverick the Tigers, sounds familiar? Well, he was actually previously owned by the famous rapper Tyga, Tyga had photos posing with Maverick on Instagram and was caught on because it was illegal to keep tigers as pets in the state of California. Tyga actually went to court to fight for Maverick, he of course lost so custody of Maverick went to Lions Tiges and Bears. After the wonderful tour we had the chance to talk to our mentor Alyssa, we interview her about her position and informations about our internship and etc. It was a great conversation, I learned what I will be doing during the 1 month span, and what is expected of me. So overall it was a great day!
