"Great King" was a male Northeast Tiger in the prime of his life, acquired through an exchange with another zoo three years ago.
When he first arrived, he was a star at the Zoo, attracting countless visitors who would stop to watch.
But as time went on, the novelty wore off, and his popularity gradually faded.
Of course, as a top predator, his overall popularity at the Zoo was still second only to the "Four Great Stars."

When Yang Qi arrived at the Tiger District, he saw Chen Ze and Great King's main keeper, Wei Dayuan, standing outside the safety barrier, talking in low voices.
"What's the situation?" Yang Qi asked as he walked over.
"You're here, Brother Qi."
Chen Ze greeted him first, then pointed at the enclosure and said, "I'm not sure of the specifics. Great King didn't eat this morning. He's barely touched the meat we gave him."
