Mexico City's 9-month old ban on circus animals has left Mexican officials with another issue: the glut of big cats, elephants and even bears that need to find new homes. Enter Black Jaguar White Tiger Foundation's Eduardo Serio. The big cat sanctuary opened in September 2013, but already is home to 45 big cats and two grizzly bears. Serio took his first few cats into his home, but quickly realized that his garden was unfit to save these rambunctious young cats. He purchased 32 acres just outside of Mexico City and has built a large infrastructure of animal pens to quarantine new arrivals and house the cats in large areas with pools and toys to enrich them. But the only place to see Serio's big cat sanctuary is on Instagram, as they don't allow visitors in person.
