Olla's Story
Olla is about ten years old. her owner lived in North Florida and had a
very nice facility and passed away about 7 years ago. She was initially
brought to another facility where they had very poor care, little
exercise and small cages. the diet was only chicken which is unhealthy.
They
(she
was with other lions)
were eventually collected by Fish and Games and the USDA, at the same
time and Big Cat Habitat agreed to take all seven lions that needed
housing. BCH worked hard with them and provided them exercise. They have
been At BCH for over 5 years and are truly beautiful (olla is even a
little too fat). She is very sweet. They all have such individual
personalities.
When Olla first encountered
the pool she was initially excited, but her enthusiasm was doused a bit
by the water. While some lions in the African swamps actually live by
and in the water, it is an acquired taste. We'll keep you up to date on
Olla's Adventures in her legacy pool. |
