Lion Habitat Ranch in Henderson NV also houses painting giraffe
Located near the M Casino in Henderson, the Lion Habitat Ranch was established for lions related to the original MGM lions.
Owner Keith Evans acquired the ranch in 1989. It is now home to 35 Barbary lions, which have been extinct in the wild since the 1940s.
The facility was closed to the public until contracts with MGM expired, and was then opened to the public to come view the lions and other animals.
Other residents of the ranch include ostriches, parrots and Ozzy, the only giraffe in the state of Nevada.
Ozzy also has painting skills. Senior trainer Jon Meador calls him, “Las Vegas’ first and only giraffe-ic artist.”

Las Vegas doesn't have a zoo, but it does have a retirement home for lions.
For years, Keith Evans brought his lions daily to the MGM Grand, where they were a popular attraction for families. Now the lions are living a leisurely life on Keith's ranch south of Las Vegas.
The Lion Habitat Ranch is open for visitors of all ages. The owners hope that it will become an attraction that pays for itself one day. In the meantime, it's a labor of love.

Owner Keith Evans and his Lions at the Lion Habitat Ranch
Even though I had been to MGM on numerous occasions for photography conferences, I had never ventured over to the MGM Grand lions exhibit. The exhibit is now closed, but we discovered that you can still see the MGM lions at the Lion Habitat Ranch in Henderson. It’s 10 minutes from the strip and down the street from us!
This is one of the hidden gems of Las Vegas. Although the facility has been operational for over 40 years, it has only been open to the public for about two. Prior to that, the resident lions traveled back and forth to the MGM Casinos.
Lions in the wild live roughly 8-12 years, but in captivity they live 15-20 years. During the summer at the lion habitat, the lions can even enjoy air conditioning in their very own dens! What a life!
While Clark County has said that the Lion Habitat Ranch, located about six miles south of the M Resort, can’t have more than 40 animals, it’s currently Las Vegas’ only facility resembling that of a local zoo.
The six-acre plot of land currently houses about 46 lions, some of which originated from the MGM Resort habitat that closed in 2012. The facility also acquired some new guests – a giraffe, several birds, emus and ostriches. The Clark County Board of Commissioners got wind of the additional animals after local animal rights groups saw them advertised on social media sites.
The letters to the county expressed concern that the ranch isn’t big enough for such a cadre of animals, and that nearby residents’ safety may be compromised should an animal escape. Clark County Board of Commissioners Chair Steve Sisolak said he has visited the Lion Habitat Ranch, and saw for himself that the well-being of the animals is the highest priority.
Keith Evans, owner and president of the Lion Habitat Ranch, a nonprofit organization, also lives on the property. He said he considers the animals like his children, and that he’s not going to give up on these commitments. The Lion Habitat Ranch offers visitors the unique experience to get up and close with certain lions by feeding them with trainers present.
Clark County Commissioners met Wednesday and delayed a decision about the habitat, citing efforts for a compromise. A compromise may come in the form of agreeing that the habitat returns to the original 40 animals, likely through attrition, since 15 of Evans’ lions are at the later stages of their lives.
As for Las Vegas seeing a new zoo, well, Evans said it would take some philanthropic help, since the care for one lion alone costs roughly $60,000 a month. For more information on the Lion Habitat Ranch, visit thecathouse.us.
