I believe this is Mike VII
"Mike the Tiger, a famed live Bengal Tiger that serves as the graphic image of all LSU Athletics teams, resides between Tiger Stadium and the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. In 2005, a $3.7 million 15,000-square foot environment was created during the reign of Mike V that included lush planting, a live oak tree, a waterfall and a stream evolving from a rocky backdrop overflowing with plants and trees."
Athletic competition aside, he is a beautiful animal.
These pictures were from last year's trip.

Even a bullet point for your concern...lol
*Donât worry that Mike is lonely. Tigers are solitary animals in the wild. Introducing another large cat to Mikeâs home would be dangerous for both animals.

. . . our daughter's lease prohibits reptiles and our grand daughter wanted a snake. It took 6 months for her to obtain clearance from my wife who, has become it's primary caretaker.

snake" storyboard that lived in our dining room for months until my wife finally caved. It really is no problem as it lives in a nice terrarium in our living room that we rarely use.

When we bred them we would have 50 in the house after the eggs hatched.
We had a clutch hatch when my son was at VT and the professor where he did his work study wanted a corn. We gave him a red albino which escaped from the aquarium in the building on the drillfield - can't remember which building. We just gave him another one.

popular, folks from town who didn't belong to our church would attend. By the end of a demo, people who were afraid of them were handling some of my collection. That was rewarding - helping people over their fear.

You are using your computer, or reading a book, playing a board game, etc.
Then, of course, here comes kitty, making his presence known, by totally wrecking what you are doing.
