Unusual Litter Mates Being Raised Together at Six Flags @SFGrAdventure #NJ

Unusual Litter Mates Being Raised Together at Six Flags Great Adventure: Adorable Tiger and Lion Cubs!Cub closeupTo me there is nothing more adorable than lion and tiger cubs! Recently, I was introduced to two little cubs that are just too cuddly for words. Spots and stripes have taken over the nursery at Six Flags Great Adventure’s safari as the veterinary team welcomes a Siberian tiger cub, the first tiger birth at the safari in 13 years, and an African lion cub. What makes the situation so unique is that for the first time, the team is hand raising the two fuzzy, female “big cats” as one litter, despite being two species that would typically never meet in the wild as they are native to different continents.Dr Keiffer feeding tiger cub“Within a week, two first-time mothers gave birth to healthy cubs but failed to care for them, so we stepped in,” said Dr. Ken Keiffer, a Six Flags veterinarian. The lion was born Nov. 19 and weighed 3 lbs., and the tiger followed on Thanksgiving and weighed 2.4 lbs. The Six Flags veterinary team became surrogate mothers to the cubs, feeding them up to six times each day. According to Keiffer, the two are doing very well and have yet to be named.  “Raising the cubs together helps to develop their socialization skills, and will enhance their chances of being successfully introduced to their own species at the safari when they are a bit older,” Keiffer said.Cubs cuddlingThe cats play, eat and snuggle together, and are also learning to find their voices and personalities. According to Keiffer, the lion cub is much more relaxed while the tiger cub is far more dominant and vocal. Siberian tigers are on the endangered species list, and tigers rank as the world’s largest living cats. Approximately 3,200 are estimated to live in the wild. The new cub is the fifth Siberian tiger at the safari. African lions are the second largest living cat in the world, number less than 19,000 in the wild and are now being protected under the endangered species act, said safari Director and Chief Veterinarian Bill Rives. Several healthy African lion cubs have been born in the Six Flags safari during the last few years, and the new cub is the 20th lion at the safari. https://www.sixflags.com/greatadventure

Star Wars: The Force Awakens #StarWars #TheForceAwakens

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review

starwarsreviewThe Star Wars movies have always been a big part of my life. From loving the movies myself, to raising my children on the films, I have always considered myself to be a Star Wars mega-fan. I had extremely high hopes for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the newest movie in the franchise, and I can honestly say that my expectations were blown away by the film!

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is an incredible movie that blends together what everyone loves from the classic films with amazing new ideas. New characters such as Finn and Rey, the protagonists of the film, and Kylo Ren, the Darth-Vader obsessed villain, fit perfectly into the Star Wars universe, and it was great to see them share screen time with fan-favorites like General Leia and Han Solo.
The Force Awakens shares the same heart and rich storytelling with the Star Wars movies that we all know and love. Each of the characters that are new for The Force Awakens bring something special to the film. I absolutely loved the movie, and I cannot wait to see what’s coming up next for Star Wars!
