Tigers for Tomorrow at Untamed Mountain, Attalla

The animal lovers behind Tigers for Tomorrow at Untamed Mountain founded the preserve and environmental education center to both educate the public about wild animals and let visitors enter an encahnted area, where they can be immersed in wildlife experiences. The nonprofit exotic animal park keeps all the animals it takes in for the rest of the animals' lives, allowing them to act as "animal ambassadors" for the public. Through up-close viewing and speaking with trainers, the public can learn about the center's 175 animals—particularly the predators, with eight species of big cats, grizzly bears, and wolves.

While walking the paved entrance that leads to the predator preserve, visitors can catch their first glimpse of the Big Cat Playground, a 2.5-acre rotational playground where tigers roam, climbing tire towers or taking a dip in the splash pool. Soon, guests will begin to know the wolves, bear, and big cats by name, like Basil the black bear or Towzer the tiger.

Once fully inside the carnivore preserve, guests can safely get close to (but not touch) the tigers, lions, bears, leopards, wolves, and other predators. Because it is a working preserve, visitors can view the keepers feeding and interacting with the animals. Tigers For Tomorrow has also been featured in Southern Living, Lookout Alabama, Alabama Home Sweet Home, and more.
