Not surprising

He was a good one. Got loose one night and they had to tranquilize him to get him back in the habitat.

Mike IV (1976–1990)


Mike IV, originally called Jerry, was born at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida in 1974. He was donated by August A. Busch III and was two years old when he came to LSU in August 1976. One memorable incident involving Mike IV began in the early-morning hours of November 28, 1981 when pranksters cut the locks on Mike's cage. The tiger roamed freely for hours, attacked a small tree, and appeared to be enjoying himself before becoming trapped in the Track Stadium near his cage. Three tranquilizer shots later, the wandering mascot was returned to his home without further incident and awoke without ill effects.[4] Mike IV reigned for 14 years and retired in 1990 to the Baton Rouge Zoo where he lived until his death in 1995 at the age of 21, the oldest of the tigers serving as LSU's mascot.

Do you even roman numeral boy?

Adjustments will have to be made.
This tiger apparently prefers to be called "Michael".
His trainer indicates that Michael may well be a vegan, but he is still a juvenile tiger and this habits may change.
Tigers can be as different as people.
