Sparky The Sex Tiger Brought To National Zoo in D.C.
WASHINGTON, DC — A new male Sumatran tiger at the National Zoo is single and ready to mingle.
Sparky, a 12-year-old, has arrived in Washington, D.C., as part of a species survival breeding plan, and he is now on display at the Great Cats Exhibit at the National Zoo, according to a Smithsonian statement.
"The 12-year-old tiger came to the Zoo on a breeding recommendation from the Sumatran Tiger Species Survival Plan," the statement notes. "Sparky has never sired a litter of cubs, and the Zoo's female tiger Damai is a proven breeder and mother."
Damai and Sparky will have "visual access" to each other at the Great Cats Exhibit. They will be "gradually" introduced to each other over the coming months in the hopes of getting them to breed at some point.

I saw the title and thought, "I don't remember being at the zoo in D. C..... "
Remember that your post isn't worth anything without pictures.
Although, most would snicker. BUT IT'S THE ONES WHO POINT AND LAUGH THAT REALLY PISS ME OFF!
However, the truth is that "Sparky the Sex Tiger" is another alias being used by Skinner.
