Tina the tiger is something of a celebrity. When fans visit her at the National Tiger Sanctuary in Saddlebrooke, Missouri, she greets them with friendly groans, grunts, and snorts. “People call her the singing tiger,” says biologist Courtney Dunn.
In 2011, Dunn was a volunteer at the sanctuary, which rescues mistreated tigers. She loved listening to Tina and the other tigers make noises. “I wondered what they were saying,” says Dunn.
