No, I'm not familiar with that establishment. Sounds interesting though. Even though the price of gas is down, the time and expense of a drive to Rosamund seems a little daunting these days.

I got a private tour of Shambala by one of the trainers/keepers there. I was accompanied by well-known gunwriter Mike Venturino and his wife.

My mother recently called Shambala to ask for information and try to work out a time to visit, left a message, and returned home to find a message on her answering machine left by Tippie Hedren herself. It's great to know that she takes such an active interest in the preserve. I recommend the EFBC trip if (for some ungodly reason) you're ever vaguely in the area. It's a great place, and they do some pretty good work, but you're right that it's very far out of the way.

Incidentally, I own the skins of both of those animals.

When we lived in florida, me and my dad were driving home, and a big black cat ran across the road. A jaguar i think. It was spooky

Probably just that--a big black cat. Some feral cats can get quite huge in a few generations. I believe they are responsible for a lot of "black panther" sightings. Some feral housecats have been shot in Australia that weighed in the 60-80 pound range--the size of a small leopard.

Melanistic jaguars are quite rare, much more than melanistic leopards ("black panthers"). I did hear of a jaguar, a released or escaped exotic pet, no doubt, sighted in south Florida many years ago, but it was of the common spotted variety.

The sainted RJ cat lost almost half his body weight at the end.

I think I'll go away and think by myself now.

I thought the purpose of teh RJmanholebearpig was to look past and beyond teh RJman. As such, you need to leave what's in the past in the past. RJmanholebearpig, to compensate, should buy a leopard/giant cat, fixing a new avatar "Teh RJleopard has a pride... 4'11" 67.5lbs"
