The first statue tiger of TU was made from fiberglass, it was purchased to create more positive campus atmosphere. Due to vandalism the statue was taken down.
In 2006, the TU decided to put up again a new tiger statue this time it is made from bronze. The new tiger Bronze Sculpture has three more duplicates where they were placed in front of library, new entrance of university and near the entrance of SECU Arena.
The Bronze Sculpture of DOC is the coolest tiger mascot, the details are précised the claws marks are extending from the back end of the tiger, just look at his eyes and teeth and he could rip you into pieces.
Unleashing the good vibes on campus, students can climb up at the back of DOC to take their photos and good memories to keep on their college life.
