'Rival mascots' are supporting LSU's Mike the Tiger in his battle against cancer

College football's best animals gotta stick together, no matter their affiliation.

LSU's Mike VI, a Bengal tiger who lives in a 15,000-square-foot habitat near Death Valley, was diagnosed with a rare and serious form of cancer after an LSU veterinary student noticed a tumor on the right side of his face. He'll undergo radiotherapy treatment at the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center -- a center typically reserved for humans -- in hopes of extending his life. Doctors say that he is not in pain, but would be expected to die within a few months without the therapy.

Tusk IV, Arkansas' Russian boar Razorback, sent his well wishes to a division opponent.

Thanks, Tusk! Arkansas' Razorback sent me flowers. #MascotsStickTogether

The LSU mascot is only two months away from his 11th birthday and delicious meat cake that comes with it.

He's also met with his school's head coach:
