When I say the tigers of Auburn, most people will no doubt think of the Auburn tigers sports teams, this is not what I am talking about. What I'm talking about are the tigers of Auburn, that are statues. There was a local artist that created many different statues of tigers, and they are now scattered all around Auburn. I was never able to find out how many there were or where each one of them is located. I spend a couple months in Auburn a few years ago, and me and my brother in law took on the challenge to find as many of these as we could. There is one that is in the Auburn Athletic Museum, this one looks like a tiger with nothing special about it, there is another one that looks pretty much the same that is outside of a bank. A tiger sits on top of the Arbys, while there is blue one that is one the top of the high school. There is a silver one, as well as a tiger weather a suit, and even two that are made to look like superhereos, one is Batman. The superhero tigers are located at a golf course. There is my favorite which is a tiger that is painted with the all American theme, this one sits outside the fire house. If you happen to be in Auburn and you find another one, please let me know as I'm curious to know how many there are, and what they look like. There is no one place to find these as they happen to be all over the place. But they do make for a nice little treasure hunt.
