lives with '13 or 14 lions and tigers'... after having dozens of the big cats years earlier
I didn't know she was Tippi's granddaughter and her mother was her daughter. But this story about having big cats in Tippi's home is insane! I'm googling images and there's one with 11 lionesses and a tiger and another with Tippi, her husband, and 3 full grown tigers in their bedroom.

I once knew about all those relationships, but had forgotten that Dakota had carried on the line. Thanks for the reminder. Her father is Don Johnson (Crockett in the 1980s TV series Miami Vice and had a bit of a comeback with a major role in Knives Out).

I saw the documentary about that. Plus the movie they did called ROAR (1981).

OT but ...
People forget that even homegrown wild animals are still instinctively wild animals and then they are surprised when they, or a visitor, get hurt and then the animal gets the "blame".
