Hey everybody. for today's adventure I am in Phelan California. it's a little drive outside of Los Angeles
Today we're at the Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary
It's kind of a rescue center for exotic animals that have been in bad industries and owned by private people
They come here when they're no longer able to be taken care of by their former owners, so yeah
They give them a good place to live. It's a good cause to support plus
We might be able to get to feed some Tigers today. Yeah, that's what's interesting me about it, so let's do the thing
Hello
Well hey there
Right now I am literally surrounded by
venomous snakes
Me and my wife started this back in 1995 most of the animals that you will see here are
actually confiscations from US Fish and Wildlife
California Department of Fish and Wildlife, local animal controls, and owner surrender.
In this room basically everything in here except for two animals are venomous. Right here, The world's longest venomous snake
This is a king cobra. a gentleman up in San Francisco area
used to own her. Not legally. She got a little bit too big for him to handle
and was surrender basically to us
All right
Hello
We've got a chatty macaw here
So this is Turbo, This is a ring-tailed lemur
she was shot with a pellet gun. The wing just wouldn't heal properly
How awesome
So Diesel is about 15 years old. His old owner had a stroke. We took him in, and he's actually
You know doing really really well
Hi Charlie
Singing dogs?
This is Tazzy and Dinky. these guys are
Wild dogs from New Guinea. In California, They're actually legal for anybody to own, but they are definitely not your
normal dogs
There's a whole chorus of singing dogs going on right now
I need to put together a choir of these guys, they'd be a hit.
You know the noise that they make, you know what it's called?
Chuffing. Listen.
That's their happy noise.
what do you think of the tiger?
He's big
What a sweety
Taj actually came from a circus. This particular circus
I know some that take wonderful care of their animals, but this particular one didn't
He was malnutritioned, he had rickets. He was completely blind and he was just a four months old
What are you doing?
She just wants a hug
Alligators are probably the most common rescue that we do
Guys when I touch his tail?
Wow
very cool
Most of his life he had a
Strap around his nose to keep him from biting. this gator right here is 21 years old
No way
Okay. This is the moment most of us have been waiting for, we're going to feed some tigers
And then hold on to this
He did it
Awesome
That's a very impatient tiger
She's ready for food
nom nom
it just knocked the meat off, and then he's just sitting on it
Yeah. They're not the most intelligent animals
He's like, where'd it go? Where'd the meat go, it was just here?
He figured it out
What do you think
Todd what did you think of that?
that was pretty cool. The tigers were most impressive
just the size especially when they got up on their hind legs
So that was a really awesome adventure getting to see all these different kinds of wild animals that have been
Rescued and taken care of so well
I really encourage you guys if you're in Southern, California to come out and try this, it's family friendly
It's adventurous. You can get to feed Tigers if you want
Oh my gosh. That was amazing. Tigers are my favorite animal if you did not know already
That was a really cool experience I gotta say. I'd like to specifically thank Forever Wild for providing us with the tour and
Showing us what they're doing with it.
