Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
In Ak'Anon, have a fight
What tf is Serilis' eye
When dropped by flying gargoyle

I have noticed that the tiger housed at the Ak'Anon zoo is roaming outside of its pen somewhat randomly. I timed it moving: first about 45 secs, then about 30 secs, then about 30 secs, then about 2 mins, then 30 secs. Sometimes, it romps entirely outside the pen and into the common area.

Ak'Anon Commons rompings with el tigre

Pretty tiger kitty is always petted, but I don't think it's supposed to be moving around this much. Allakhazam posts never mention finding it outside its pen except for one time when a person found the tiger lingering at the zone line http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=3164#m9768961199088

At any rate, can the tiger in Ak'Anon be prevented from roaming from its zoological prison?

BEEP BEEP Tiger Comin' Thru!

Here is some more general behavior I have observed in the zoo, though my main concern still lies with the tiger escaping its pen. If I was not clear in the OP, the tiger will roam from its pen without being attacked or cast upon. It is non-aggro so it's not a threat, but it is kinda whack to see el tigre wandering around downtown Ak`Anon and the shopping center.

The Tiger's Spawn Point

I timed the tiger three times to see how long it delayed after spawning before it began roaming.
1. 29.46 seconds
2. 30.84s
3. 29.02s

After it initiated roaming, I timed it five times between its arrival at a /loc and it leaving the /loc.
1. 29.92s
2. 40.07s
3. 32.06s
(tiger left the pen and clipped through a wall for 43.25s)
4. 27.07s
5. 42.54s

The brown bear among the zoo exhibits never leaves its enclosure, but it does roam within. I found no Way Back info about the behavior of this particular brown bear. I timed it five times, and it appears to travel between /locs at a less variable frequency than the tiger, if that is worth anything to the devs:
1. 31.45s
2. 31.24s
3. 31.44s
4. 31.65s
5. 31.68s

The minotaur at the zoo does not move from its spawn point unless it is attacked.
