Could Mike VII be coming from Cincinnati Zoo??

3 male tiger cubs just born in Cincinnati zoo. I know Malayan not Bengal but at this point I just want a tiger. I think a cub would be outstanding. The mom essentially abandoned these so taking as a small cub could be possible.

CINCINNATI, OH (February 7, 2017) – Three Malayan tiger cubs were born on Friday, February 3, at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden and are now being cared for in the Zoo’s nursery. First-time mom Cinta’s maternal instincts did not kick in and vets, concerned that the cubs’ body temperatures would dip too low without the warmth of mom’s body, made the call to remove them from the den.

Would be awesome. Agreed. Not picky at this point.

These cubs won't be here because of:
quote:
Three-year-old Cinta is the 2nd most genetically-valuable female in the Zoo population, and dad, 15-year-old Jalil, is the 3rd most genetically-important male. This combination of lineage gives these cubs the opportunity to contribute much-needed genetic diversity when they eventually receive breeding recommendations from the Malayan tiger Species Survival Plan (SSP)

Mike VI was half Siberian, so there's no requirement that Mikes be full bengal.

They should go save Tony

So what's to stop them from letting Mike VII get some cat later?

Been following recruiting long enough to know these package deals rarely if ever work out

LSU does not need a Tiger addicted to shake-n-bake meth.

I was told two weeks ago there are several candidates, it is not a matter of finding a tiger but rather choosing the best tiger for LSU

Look as a fan, I would prefer a cub over an adult. Mike V growing up before our eyes was a pretty cool thing. This just seems like an ideal situation for getting a cub since the mother "abandoned" them so taking the cub from momma too early is not an issue.

This combination of lineage gives these cubs the opportunity to contribute much-needed genetic diversity when they eventually receive breeding recommendations from the Malayan tiger Species Survival Plan (SSP), the group that manages the health of the population in the 28 accredited Zoos that care for this subspecies.
Given these statements, I would say they are going nowhere.

Didn't the head of the vet school say something about choosing a tiger that's a year or two old? That way they can judge the temperament of the tiger?

Wonder if LSU could be house a breeder once they achieve the sanctuary status or whatever it is they are doing the renovations for.

That would improve our odds of getting one in the stadium.
