Marcella Gilliland had the pleasure of taking her Mother, Esther and her friend, Duane to the Big Cat Habitat that is located just east of I75 off of Fruitville Road in Sarasota, FL. Marcella Gilliland also took her two grand children, Saphren and Garrett. The Big Cat Habitat was a huge surprise to all of us. Even though we all knew it had been in Sarasota for many years none of the family had ever been there before. They had all expected to see a couple of tigers and maybe a lion or two but what they found was much more than that. There was a large tent set up for training sessions open to the public. It was actually a mini circus. It was totally awesome because as the big cat trainer was with the animal the entire show was being narrated by the owner or the trainer. It was very informative and Marcella Gilliland and her family were impressed with the amount of knowledge they came away with. The big cats were so beautiful. There was a lion there that it to be believed to be the only one of its kind left in the world. Many different organizations are coming to the Big Cat Habitat for DNA samples to see if this can be proven. Theere were elephant rides and camel rides. We experienced an entire family of six riding the elephant at one time so you can imagine how large this animal was. We also saw peacocks, parrots, small animals, huge brown bears that were totally amazing, ostriches, goats to be petted and fed, pony and dog shows and on and on. Marcella Gilliland and her family had a great time and the weather was just perfect for the family visiting here from Iowa.
