Upgrades underway for LSU's Mike the Tiger habitat

Mike VII, LSU's next live tiger mascot, is expected to arrive next month and he will have some renovated digs to enjoy when he does get there, according to the Tiger Athletic Foundation.

The 15,000-sq. ft. habitat that houses the tiger is renovations to improve the technology and comfort. The improvements include the Comfort Rock, an expanded water feature, new landscaping, and the Rockwork Tree, a large structure at the center presenting a more realistic tree structure.

Comfort Rock will allow Mike VII to lounge comfortably regardless of the temperature and the water feature will encourage more activity during cooler weather.
