California Travel Tips host Veronica Hill tours Forever Wild Animal Sanctuary in Phelan in this Mojave Desert travel guide.

This unique wild animal sanctuary is run by Joel and Chemaine Almquist. The sanctuary opened to the public in July 2009.

Forever Wild is home to desert tortoises, alligators, parrots and a variety of venomous snakes and reptiles, including several varieties of rattlesnakes, vipers, cobras and pythons.

Forever Wild is perhaps best known as a tiger sanctuary. It's home to 10 Bengal tigers, as well as mountain lions, servals, bobcats, panthers and leopards.
