Exotic Animals Get New Home In OK

More than two dozen exotic animals are getting used to their new home in Oklahoma.

Workers at the GW Exotic Animal Park in Garvin County near Wynnewood spent most of Sunday unloading eight lions, several tigers, two wolves, one bear and a mountain lion.

The animals came from a similar site in Missouri that shut down after a tiger attacked a worker earlier this month.

"Yeah, that's what happened. Too many people bailed out and the guy just couldn't do it. He was just beat down and they needed help," said Chris Binkley, GW Exotic Animal Park Director.

The Oklahoma parks director is hoping to raise enough money to go back for several other animals left behind.

If they don't leave the Missouri park by mid-September, they'll likely be euthanized.
