Noah's Ark Offers Unique Animal Family

New Habitat Can't Be Found Anywhere Else In The World

Lions, tigers and bears. Oh my! You don't have to travel to Oz to find this unique trio. A new exhibit at Noah's Ark in Locust Grove includes an African lion named Leo, a striped tiger named Shere Khan and a black bear named Baloo.

The three animals came to Henry County as a family eight years ago. They were found in the back of a car during a drug bust, and given to Noah's Ark for rehabilitation. Until now, the group has lived in private near the non-profit's children care center. The group received a donation at the beginning of the year, and began work on a habitat for the three jungle giants.

The habitat will officially open on Saturday at 12 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are accepted.
