Cat Haven in Dunlap, California reopened Sunday.
That's the big cat rescue and sanctuary where a 24-year-old intern was killed by a lion last week.
The preserve has been closed during the investigation into Dianna Hanson's death.
Somehow a five-year-old African lion got out of its holding pen and into the larger cage Hanson was cleaning.
The lion attacked and killed Hanson.
Hanson...who loved big cats... was hoping her internship at Cat Haven would help land her a full-time job at a zoo.
