In
a June 23 story about a former Tarzan actor buying two new tiger cubs,
The Associated Press reported erroneously that Steve Sipek lost his
license to own tigers as pets after his 600-pound tiger, Bobo, was
fatally shot by a wildlife officer.
Sipek did not lose his pet license; he obtained a new state
commercial license to open his home as a zoo and may need an additional
federal permit, state wildlife spokesman Willie Puz said.
In addition, the story reported erroneously the amount Sipek paid. He paid $3,200 for both cubs, not for each cub, Puz said.
