Summary:

"For almost a century, Mike the Tiger has symbolized the spirit and resolve of Louisiana State University. The only live tiger to reside on a college campus, Mike now reigns from his sanctuary just outside Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. In this new book about Mike, his longtime veterinarian David Baker reflects on his experiences with Mikes V, VI, and VII. Fresh material includes accounts from Mike's student caretakers over the years, Mike VI's death, and Mike VII's arrival on campus. Readers will also learn about the woman behind Mike's popular social media accounts. Over 100 photos, virtually all of them not previously published, further enhance the volume"-- Provided by publisher.
