The University of Memphis also has a live tiger mascot that lives at an "undisclosed location" that looks just as god-awful as the truck-stop tiger habitat. But what doesn't when Mike's is over $3 million. I had no idea, though they've apparently had one for nearly 40 years.

Nope never has. When I was growing up he lived at a private animal reserve. Also fun fact, the old Tom was from the same litter as a previous Mike

I think their current tiger was related (like half brother) to one of our previous 2 tigers.

The University of North Alabama boasts the only live Lion mascots in the country living on a college campus.
