Siegfried & Roy once had one of the most popular shows in Las Vegas, combining magic and big cats to amaze audiences. While their show ended in 2003, the two continued caring for animals with the Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage hotel. However, with the wildlife center closing after more than 30 years, five big cats once owned by Siegfried & Roy will now be living in North Texas.
In-Sync Exotics wildlife center in Wylie is home to 75 exotic cats, and will soon have five more courtesy of Siegfried & Roy. According to WFAA, 9-year-old white lions Madiba and Timba-Masai, 14-year-old black leopard Shadow and 19-year-old spotted leopards Neruda and Ibasa will now be living at the Texas animal sanctuary. "We are honored to have been selected to care for these amazing animals for the rest of their lives," said Vicky Keahey, founder and executive director of In-Sync Exotics.
While five of the cats will be heading to North Texas, the others from Secret Garden were sent to another sanctuary in Oregon. As for the big cats in Wylie, guests are able to see the animals from 11AM to 5PM on Fridays and from 11AM to 6PM on Saturdays and Sundays, with guided tours available during the week. With these big cats, a small piece of Las Vegas is now here in Texas.
