R LAZY J Wildlife Ranch R Lazy J Wildlife Ranch

Their USDA inspection from Jan 6 indicates 3 cheetahs, not 2. I'm very curious about who the 3rd is.

I've confirmed that the wildlife ranch permanently closed at some point earlier this year. There is now a farmers market at the sight (called R Lazy J Ranch Market). I do recall that this zoo had some interesting species come and go over the 4 or so years they were open to the public.

US zoo closures in 2024 (so far):

1. SeaQuest Littleton (CO)
2. Sierra Safari Zoo (NV)
3. Texas Reptile Zoo (TX) - as a publicly open facility
4. Grapeland Safari (TX)
5. R Lazy J Ranch (AZ)

Yeah I recently saw a TripAdvisor account from July stating that it was closed, such a shame.
