(CNN) Carole Baskin, whose longstanding feud with Joe Exotic was chronicled in the hit Netflix docuseries "Tiger King," has been awarded the zoo once owned by her nemesis.
A judge ruled in favor of Baskin's Big Cat Rescue Corporation Monday in a lawsuit against the Greater Wynnewood Development Group, LLC. The latter company once was owned by Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage.
The order gives Baskin control of about 16 acres of land in Garvin County, Oklahoma, that is home to an animal park with an array of big cats.
GWDC must "vacate the Zoo Land premises within 120 days of service of this Order ...Vacation of premises shall also require removal of all zoo animals from the Zoo Land," the court order said.
The judgment also awarded several cabins and vehicles to Baskin, according to court records.

I’m a little confused by this article. In the last few episodes of Tiger King, Jeff moved the zoo to different location. Is Carole being awarded the old zoo, or the new one? Did Jeff own both properties, or just the new one?

I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the news reached Joe.
