The Lion Habitat Ranch in Henderson is an incredible nonprofit lion sanctuary. Founded by current president Keith Evans in 1989, its mission is to provide a loving environment to all lions and other exotic animals in the habitat’s care. Keith has worked in close contact with lions and other big cats since 1970 and has dedicated his life to not only protecting these majestic creatures but to also educating others and promoting wildlife conservation. Take a look at this incredible lion sanctuary right here in Nevada with animals that are truly loved, happy, and very well cared for.
The Evans and their staff are dedicated to the care and protection of the lions and other animals at their ranch.
