Lakota the Ti-Liger's Story
Species: Ti-Liger (Panthera tigris x {Panthera leo x Panthera tigris})
DOB: August 30, 2015
Sex: Male
Arrival Date: September 30, 2016

Lakota arrived at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge (TCWR) with 33 other animals during the Colorado Project of 2016-2017. TCWR acquired a closing, 12-acre roadside establishment with 115 animals living in deplorable conditions with minimal veterinary care. Due to health issues, the previous owner needed to find a new home for all the animals he had acquired. Many enclosures had access doors made of rotting plywood and a padlock to contain these apex predators. Additionally, they existed on compacted dirt and woodchips with nails, with little shade from the glaring eastern Colorado sun. Our team worked on-site for six months and collaborated with other accredited Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) sanctuaries to transport and provide lifelong refuge to these animals. During this period, TCWR assisted in founding the Big Cat Sanctuary Alliance (BCSA) to unite accredited sanctuaries for future rescues and to educate and provide awareness to the public about the plight of the growing wild cat crisis.

In Colorado, Lakota cohabitated with three additional big cats – Khaleesi (a Golden Tabby Tiger), Aurora (a white tiger), and Joey (an orange tiger). Because of their exotic variations and age, we suspect the four were used as a cub petting attraction or breeding. At the Refuge, the four remained together until they matured and were separated as they began to fight with each other. Lakota is a ti-liger, a hybrid wild cat due to the intentional breeding of a female liger and male tiger. Naturally, this type of wild cat would not exist in the wild due to the separation of their geographic ranges. Lakota has a bold and comical personality and uses objects in his habitat to shield him as he stalks from afar. His favorite spots to nap are among his rock structures or high on his platform bench. Lakota enjoys any type of enrichment.
