Freedom's most noticeable features are not even there.
As a cub, she lost her ears and tail in an attack by some older tigers.
The resulting injuries landed her in Shand's burn unit in Gainsville where a
part of her belly was grafted onto her thighs. She was in critical
condition for a long time, but Freedom showed her stripes and fought through
to recovery. She's grown into a massive tigress that has adapted well
to her disabilities. Just stay away when it comes time for food!

| Magic Moments:
Some of the older volunteers actually call Freedom by her nickname "Hoo-hoo"
because she makes an unusual hooting noise when vocalizing.
