LSU's new Mike the Tiger makes campus debut

Mike the Tiger made his campus debut Monday morning (Aug. 21). Louisiana State University said the school's new live mascot moved into his habitat just in time for the start of the new semester.

The school's latest Mike the Tiger was previously known as Harvey, an 11-month old rescue tiger, obtained from a sanctuary in Okeechobee, Fla.

He's officially @MikeTheTiger, says Dr. Baker. He's out in his new habitat to start the @lsu semester! #LSU pic.twitter.com/w2zzyn2rQW
