The game park in Bandon, OR is a fun place. In past years, late June/early July was when they had a lot of babies in their nursery for holding/petting. We call them to see what babies they have available for petting. When the babies get too big to hold, they are brought out on leashes, and guests can bottle feed them and pet them.

The big cats grow up fast, so there's only a small window of opportunity to hold them. I asked to see this leopard again, and they brought him out. He was intently checking out all the other animals walking by the nursery. He was not mellow like tiger cubs are.
