Max the Tiger Cam at Turpentine Creek

A Rescued Tiger's Forever Home

Max is one of the many rescued big cats cared for at Turpentine Creek, a non-profit refuge that gives formerly captive tigers, lions and other large carnivores a safe, lifelong home. His enclosure is designed to mimic a natural habitat, with open grass to patrol and shaded resting spots.

The Enclosure View

The camera looks out over a broad grassy yard bordered by tall chain-link fencing, with a stone-ringed plunge pool at its centre where Max can cool off and play. Wooden enrichment platforms and natural cover encourage the powerful cat to roam, stalk and lounge.

Set in the Ozark Mountains

The refuge sits near Eureka Springs in the wooded Ozark highlands of northwest Arkansas, a region of forested ridges and limestone bluffs. The surrounding landscape provides a tranquil, naturalistic backdrop for the sanctuary's residents.

Conservation and Care

Operated by Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge and streamed via explore.org, this cam supports the sanctuary's mission of rescue, rehabilitation and education. Viewers gain a rare, close look at responsible big-cat stewardship in action.
