MOUNT VERNON — A baby white Bengal tiger has a new home at an animal sanctuary in Mount Vernon, Maine.
The tiger Makeena was donated to the D.E.W. Animal Kingdom and Sanctuary by tiger breeders in the southeastern United States. The cub has been in Mount Vernon for about a week now.

The cub is being fed formula and its handlers say they plan on putting her on a meat diet in a few weeks.
Visitors can see Makeena several times a day.
WCSH-TV says officials at the sanctuary say they hope to get Makeena to breed with another tiger they have.
