Tiger Swaps Between 3 Zoos

Siberian tiger, Serge, 11, shows his teeth at the Little Rock Zoo, Monday, Jan. 2, 2006, in Little Rock, Ark. In a swap, the Little Rock Zoo is sending Serge and his brother Dmitri to the Minnesota Zoo, with the first leaving Tuesday, because the steamy Arkansas summers have been deemed uncomfortable for the breed. Serge will be the first tiger moved to Minnesota and Dmitri should follow in the next few months, zoo officials said. The Little Rock Zoo is to receive a pair of Indo-Chinese tigers from the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Neb., in exchange for Siberian brothers Serge and Dmitri, who have lived in Arkansas since 1996.
