Collection: Mack

Rescue Story: In April of 2008, Turpentine Creek rescued two privately owned tigers Tigger G and Ziggy (no deceased). Upon their rescue, Ziggy was neutered because we are a non breeding facility.  A month later, we were very surprised when Tigger G gave birth to two tiger cubs BB King and Mack. Turpentine Creek raised the cubs, keeping BB King and Mack together until they were large enough to be released into their very own habitat.  This big beautiful boy was christened by Bill and Nancy Plummer, who have been long-time supporters of the Refuge. 

More about Mack: Being born at the refuge, Mack is extremely trusting and curious because he never had to go through the trauma that many of our other animals have gone through.  When his brother BB King was undergoing chemotherapy, Mack always tried to get in the roll cage and come for a ride.
