From the article.
Pretty sure the term cub refers to Tigers that have not been weaned yet.
(Not an expert but I was told that the search was specifically for a juvenile, not a cub).
So perhaps you were anchored because you were wrong?

I know some have anticipated this, but before getting carried away with this particular tiger, the Rantards should anticipate that there had to be certain concessions made to continue the tradition of a live tiger mascot.
You will be hearing about these shortly.

Other than not going to the games in the trailer? Other than that it would appear he is treated just like any tiger would be treated at a top flight zoo if not better.
Are u suggesting something like we may start rotating tigers thru as Mike instead of just having one until he passes on?

Perhaps not.
"Tiger cubs spend the majority of their time playing with their siblings and their mother around fifteen months of age. Playing helps the growing tiger cubs develop useful life skills such as stalking, pouncing, swatting and climbing.
A hierarchical order is established among tiger cubs by sixteen months of age with the most dominant sibling eating and consuming most resources first. The dominant cub is most often a male and will leave the family unit within a few months.
Young tigers become independent from their mothers around seventeen to twenty-four months of age. Males travel further from their mother's home range than females. Young male tigers will continue to grow and develop muscle until they are about five years old but settle only temporarily in marginal habitats until they are strong enough to take a permanent territory of their own."

Dr. Baker had said they were looking for a juvenile rather than a cub so that they could get a feel for his personality.
