Exclamation Weird Exotic Animal question

I know it sounds odd, but I was wondering if anyone knew some place to see exotic animals (Big Cats), other then the Zoo in the tri state area. (NY,CT,NJ).

The gf loves them and was thinking on trying to find a place to see like baby tigers or something like that if its even possible....

I thought it was a monitor by the way the neck was but wasn't sure. I can't wait for summer to take my bearded outside to get some REAL sun light. This weather is just killer!!!
I found a place in Sincaliresville?? Next to buffalo that houses big cats and bears and some wolves. Unfortunetely its over 7 hours away from NYC. So we are going to make a 3 day weekend of it and just fly up there and visit the sanctuary and take a trip to Niagra Falls as well.

You'd be suprised on how people actually do have big cats and stuff for "pets". These sanctuaries take these cats in instead of having them put down cause the owner got tired of it or it wasn't a cute baby anymore. I mean I'm no eco-giant and I'm not all about saving the planet, but I am for protecting wild life. I don't understand why people feel the need to put an animal down if it "attacks" a human, considering that's its nature. If someone is attacked or killed its usually the persons fault 80% of the time anyway. These animals are just doing what they KNOW to do. Bleh stupid people make me upset.... Too bad they don't have any Cheetah's at this place =/

I dated a girl that had some kind of big cat's for pets. She had like 4 of them in the house and bred them. Can't remember what they were. They were larger than a mastif height wise. Lean cats like a cheeta.

the only kinds of larger cats that you really can get are african servals... even they can be a handful... you need to get one as a cub... do not adopt them because most of them creat a bond with only one owner and won't take well to you or your GF... another option is a savannah... they are a x-breed of a serval and a domestic... they get large depending on their breed level (f1,f2,f3 etc ect...)

and don't expect to pay anthing less than 8k for a savannah and nothing less than 15k for a serval...
