Tulane students kidnapped Mike the Tiger, dyed him green, and turned him loose in the French Quarter. Updike was a child playing a man's game.

There is more. Tulane students also cut the lock on the cage and Mike roamed free on the LSU campus for a while in the 1980s.

In the 1950s, Mike was kidnapped by Tulane fans before a Tiger-Green Wave football game. He was found, and returned safely in New Orleans—he and his cage sprayed Tulane green.

In the mid-1980's, pranksters cut the locks on Mike IV's cage and freed him in the early-morning hours just days before the annual LSU-Tulane clash. Mike roamed free, playfully knocking down several small pine trees in the area, before being trapped in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium where veterinarian Dr. Sheldon Bivin used tranquilizer guns to capture and return the Bengal Tiger to his home.
