Carole Baskin gained control of the zoo on Monday after a judge ruled in favour of her Big Cat Rescue Corporation in a lawsuit.

Joe Exotic is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence for animal abuse and a murder-for-hire plot against Carole Baskin.

PETA is selling a Joe Exotic costume made to mimic the 'Tiger King' star, retailing for US$159.99.

The Oklahoma zoo, now called Tiger King Park, was given clearance to reopen as long as workers and visitors followed sanitation and social-distancing protocols.

The series will be based on a Texas Monthly story published in 2019 by Leif Reigstad that recounts how Joe Exotic built his private zoo in Oklahoma.

Members of the big cat community claim in the Netflix series 'Tiger King' that Carole Baskin murdered Don Lewis and fed him to the tigers.

The country icon worked with the former zookeeper and convicted felon during a MuttNation charity event in 2017.

The special will also show "never-before-seen footage" and it's set to air on Monday.

Sanctuary employees reportedly needed armed security when they made their first rescue at the Oklahoma zoo at the centre of the Netflix docuseries.

Joe Exotic's husband Dillon Passage, 24, said the 'Tiger King' star, 57, has entered 'a COVID-19 isolation.'
