    Those tigers in the tiny cages in Grosse Tete need to go, but Mike is the most pampered Tiger on the planet. He could use the companionship of others of his kind, probably. But there are some issues with that as well. Domesticated tigers don't have the same social interaction as wild tigers.

    Surely there is a domesticated female Tiger somewhere they could find to put with him.

    This. Pseudo environmental activism at its finest. Domestic born and raised Tigers do not survive in the wild.

    Are you saying Mike is to suave and sophisticated for a simple jungle tiger mate? Like James Bond and Elly May?

    Not that simple. They are solitary animals by nature. Only look for skeet in heat.

    And territorial. His habitat is a small territory to share.

    What about if they made him an anatomically correct inflatable girl tiger?
