The advocate has the story here: http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/9445211.html Here's the pic, courtesy of Great Cats of Indiana: The story says that additional pics have been released by LSU...haven't found them yet. Not sure of copyright issues with posting the pic...let me know if I should just post a link and I'll take it down.
Good looking Cat. Welcome MIKE VI. He looks awesom at 300lbs, cant imagine 700lbs!!! His markings on the his back and side are unique. Very cool looking cat. I hope he adapts easily and quickly. Too bad he can't have a companion like he is used to. The solitary atmosphere may be hard to adjust for him.
what a handsome guy! another pic from the advocate story. http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/9445211.html
Does the same theory of paw size determining future growth apply to tigers as it does to dogs? If so, those paws are MASSIVE.. (i.e. Mike is going to be HUGE)
I'd like to bring this guy to Bad Newz Kennels and show Michael Vick and the fellas what's up.:thumb:

They mentioned his unique markings at the press conference, but they failed to mention his glowing eyes. :yelwink2: He is a great-looking guy. He's going to be HUGE in a few years. Edited because I checked out the GCOI site, and they've got his picture up now. But it looks like they photoshoped out the glowing eyes. Now he just looks kind of unnaturally bug eyed :rofl:. I like the glowing eyes better!
My Mike VI will lose his mind when he sees his new pad, after that^^ a cave and waterfall wonderland!!!! WELCOME MIKE
A bengal/siberian mix, had no idea... Hope that coat doesn't get too thick or he'll be spending all his time in the pool...:wink: Is he out of quarantine yet? 700 pounds would be cool but 500-600 is probably more likely considering the average of the two species. Welcome home bud!
