Mike The Tiger's Habitat

 

 

In 2005, a 15,000-square foot state-of-the-art habitat was introduced. Several enhancements were made including a comfort rock, rockwork tree, and resurfacing of the pool in 2017 prior to the arrival of Mike VII.

Project Features

  • Architectural Design

    The backdrop of Mike’s Habitat features an Italianate tower - a campanile - that creates a visual bridge to the architectural vernacular that is the underpinning of the entire LSU campus.

  • Comfort Rock

    The comfort rock is a naturalistic element within the habitat that provides a heated or cooled surface for ultimate relaxation in Mike's Habitat.

  • Water Features

    The pool and stream system will help keep Mike cool in the summer months and foster healthy activity.
