Kay Rosaire’s BIG CAT ENCOUNTER
Presented by Clayton Rosaire

Clayton is the ninth generation descendent of England’s premier animal handling family – the Rosaire’s – in a continuation of the family’s rich tradition of man among animals. Tracing the animal-handling lineage to the 1800’s, one can see that this is not just your average family business. It is indeed a labor of love!
 
As the first U.S. born Rosaire progeny, young Clayton first entered the cage to face the large cats alone at the early age of 17, making him the youngest lion and tiger trainer at that time in the world.  Clayton follows a rich family heritage in which mutual respect between man and beast is the key to a harmonious and rewarding experience. His animal training, husbandry, and performance skills are passed down from his mother, Kay Rosaire, an acclaimed trainer in her own right. She instilled in young Clayton the very same presentation style for which she is so well known: friend rather then foe, reward rather than fear to coax the big cats into a sequential routine of natural behaviors upon command. The Rosaire’s have long been noted for rescuing and offering a safe haven at their two sanctuaries, the Sarasota Bradenton Children’s Zoo & Gulf Coast Sanctuary and the Big Cat Habitat, both are 501©(3) Non-Profit Organizations that take in mistreated and unwanted animals.
