Killman Zoo and its collection

Killman Zoo, opened in 1988, is a zoo in Caledonia, Canada.

History

The zoo was started by the wildlife painter Murray Killman, whose first big cat was a cougar called Maggie, acquired in 1979 and often painted by him. More big cats followed through the 1980s, with many enclosures built for them, and the site became known as Killman's Wildlife Sanctuary. From 1982 his son Mark ran tours by appointment.
