New Tiger Cub At Pittsburgh Zoo Has An Achy-Breaky Name

 

PITTSBURGH —

The newest addition to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium is a Siberian tiger cub named after Billy Ray Cyrus, the famous country music and television star.

Zoo representatives said the donors who paid to name the cub “Billy Ray” wanted to honor a late family member who was a big Cyrus fan.

Billy Ray will likely grow up to be about 11-feet-long and weigh 450 pounds, according to the zoo.
