Zion Wildlife Gardens is a New Zealand big cat sanctuary near Whangarei built by Craig Busch, The Lionman, to hold different species of felines nearly extinct, such as white lions and white tigers. His successful TV Series, The Lionman, has contributed to making the gardens known all over the world, since it is --according to sources from the park-- "showing in 96 different countries and is number one in 32 different countries" (in september, 2007).
