Jungle Cat World began as a private collection of large cats. Over time that collection developed into a zoo that is open to the public.
"In 1981, Wolfram and Christa Klose adopted a male lion cub, named "Pasha". Within a few months, a young female tiger ("Contessa") and a lion ("Delilha") were acquired to keep him company. A large enclosure was built in the middle of their rural property to safely and comfortably house them.Public interest encouraged the development of a formal zoo. After years of hard work, "Orono Exotic Cat World", which is now known as Jungle Cat World Wildlife Park, opened its doors to the public in 1985." source: www.junglecatworld.com/about.html (
