Jasmine the Tiger - Turpentine Creek, Arkansas, USA
Welcome to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge near Eureka Springs, Arkansas, USA, where this camera watches the enclosure belonging to Jasmine, one of the refuge's rescued tigers.
Tigers are solitary and territorial, so each cat here has its own grassed habitat rather than sharing. What looks like a quiet patch of grass is a territory, and Jasmine will have her own routes and favourite resting spots within it.
Most tigers rescued from private ownership arrive declawed, malnourished or too habituated to people to ever return to the wild. None of them can be released, so the refuge is a permanent home rather than a stopping point.
The refuge covers 459 acres and is home to around 100 animals. Arkansas is five hours behind UTC in summer and six in winter.
Did You Know? There are more tigers living in private hands in the United States than there are left in the wild anywhere on Earth. The global wild population is roughly 3,900. Almost none of the captive American ones could ever be released, because a tiger has to be taught to hunt by its mother.
