Terri Irwin

So I was able to help people pay for the care of these animals and let them go again.

So I have my cougar to teach people.

I have this hobby of helping wildlife and cougar country was born.

So it was any of the animals in cougar country, but I primarily worked with predatory mammals.

So that's cougars, bears, bobcats, raccoons, foxes, those kind of animals.

It was big.

I had a two-car garage and I only had one car.

So I decked out part of that for animals like critical care.

And then I had areas throughout.

My yard was just like...

Like Dr. Doolittle's yard, you know, so I'd have areas for different animals.

And as they got well, I'd let them go.

And it was just such a passion for me.

And I remember one day, I got a knock on the door.

And it was Jehovah's Witness.

And they said to me, can we talk to you about Jehovah?

And I was raised Christian, so I could verse to verse them.

I was like, yes, I know the Bible back to front, baby.

But if you want to come in, I'll get you a cup of tea and maybe you can help me clean out animal enclosures and feed baby animals.

And they were like, sure.
