Mike Tyson owned three pet tigers and kept them in his mansion.
Tyson admitted that he initially got the tigers because he thought it'd be "cool." 'Iron Mike' later got attached to them, especially to a Bengal tiger he named 'Kenya.' Tyson would take her out for walks and was even seen playfully wrestling the wild beast in an interview with Roseanne Bar for Inside Edition.

Although Tyson was very fond of Kenya, he had to let her go. After living with her for 16 years, Mike Tyson revealed he had to let go of Kenya because she had ripped a lady's arm off.
"I had great affection for her. I kept her, I slept with her, I kept her in my room. She stayed with me, I had her for probably around 16 years. She was a massive monster, you can't imagine the size of her. She got too old, and I had to get rid of her, her eyes and her hips got bad. Plus, she ripped somebody's arm off," Mike Tyson told GQ.
