The Tulsa Zoo welcomed a new tenant Thursday. Meet Baikal. He's a two-year-old Siberian tiger.

Zoo officials say they hope Baikal will be just what Nadia is looking for. Nadiaâ€™s the Zooâ€™s female Siberian. But, Baikal has a little growing up to do before he can start sparkinâ€™ with Nadia.

The Tulsa Zoo was selected by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association to breed the tiger pair based on the tigers' genetic makeup.
