Dutchess the Tiger, Turpentine Creek Live Cam

This camera keeps watch on the enclosure of Dutchess, a tigress living at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in the Ozarks of northwest Arkansas. Behind a wire-mesh fence fringed with tall grass lies a concrete yard where she rests next to gray shelter buildings.

Dutchess was seized from a private owner by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and was cared for at a sanctuary in Florida while the court case went on. She arrived at Turpentine Creek in October 2023. The refuge outside Eureka Springs gives lifetime care to rescued tigers, lions, bears and smaller wild cats such as servals and bobcats.

From outside the fence, the camera alternates between a wider shot of the lawn and mesh panels and a closer view of the concrete yard, where a red toy lies near the shelter. Tall grass along the fence partly screens the lower edge of the picture.
