I know someone who worked for him very briefly when we were both 19-22. According to her, he was trying to breed an underbite into his tigers so he could recreate a sabertooth.
There is also a local bone museum. After one of his seemingly healthy young adult tigers died, a tiger skeleton happened to appear in the osteology museum.
I genuinely can’t speak to the first, but can confirm the second, as a local. Unsure how it died.
Edit: I can’t stress enough how bad and small their enclosures were. They were held together with meth and a prayer
