There aren’t too many places in North Carolina where deep, guttural roars greet you upon arrival, but that’s exactly what you should expect at Tiger World.
Tucked away off of a windy farm road about 5 miles from Interstate 85 in Rockwell, North Carolina, the 36-acre endangered wildlife preserve is very unassuming. There is no large entrance gate or flags waving as you drive in, but that’s just the point at this refuge for some of nature’s fiercest and most exotic animals.
Tiger World is home to lions, various species of tigers, bears, cougars, wolves, monkeys, kangaroos, bobcats, lemurs, otters and even a liger — a cross between a male lion and a female tiger. A rare Timbavati White Lion from South Africa also lives at Tiger World, safe from poachers who endanger the species; and two adorable Bengal Tiger Cubs, Hera and Hercules, are the newest additions.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
