History: Rowdy was picked up in Branson, Missouri. Rowdy was supposed to have been picked up with Sampson, the bear. After the bear was loaded, Rowdy would not get in the trailer He wanted no part of that bear. He was just two years old and barely had a mane. He was in the same petting zoo at a flea market that Tango and Tazaz came from in Branson, Mo. He was loaded very easily by John Tucker and Don. Rowdy still has his claws.

Personal: Rowdy is a very light maned beautiful lion. He shares a cage with Cash on "death row". "Death Row" is for the people and not the cats. More people have been scratched or slightly hurt by the cats on "death row" than any other part of the compound. Rowdy loves attention and loves to be petted. He has to be watched very carefully since he still has his claws.
