Cat Haven

On our way to Kings Canyon, there was a sign for the Cat Haven, which Joy had done research on previously and so we decided it was a good time to stop and stretch our legs and give our car a chance to cool down too.  We spend the next hour plus on a guided tour to see leopards, jaguars, bobcats, lions, tigers, cheetah, and lynx.  We heard their stories and enjoyed our time.

We weren't far away from these large cats.

Leopards have long tails (here), jaguars have large jaws, and panthers are a name for either if they are black in color.

A bobcat marks its territory as we walk by.
