Did you ever consider taking your valentine to Tampa's Big Cat Rescue? Well this year that is exactly what I did. I took my fiancé on a date on Valentine's Day to the highly under-rated Big Cat Rescue. We had a very good time at the park. We also learned some interesting facts like in Florida the Florida Panther is also known as the Florida Cougar. Another interesting fact was that since the 1940s the Bali Tiger has been extinct. One last interesting fact is that there is no need to breed tigers or lions that will be kept in captivity.
