From Wikipedia:
I stand corrected.

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.
I stand corrected.

Mike VI does whatever the frick he wants. I think that's pretty boss of him. And he's way more playful and has more personality than Mike V did IMHO.
he's very active in the mornings. I used to have class in the football stadium, and he would put on a show every day after class.

When was the last time you were invited to be a participant at a stoning?

Damn I freaked for a second. I just thought it was Mike VI who'd died.
Indeed RIP Mike V

Truth. He also gets going at night. Mike VI DGAF and seems to like the peace and quiet. Can't blame him. There's some pretty trashy people who come by his habitat.
