Las Vegas, NV (WFN) -- The white tiger who attacked animal illusionist Roy Horn has a message for him and Siegfried: "I need more time off."

That's what Montecore, the 600-pound white tiger reportedly told animal psychic Charlene Boyd when she telepathically visited him in his cage.

Boyd says Montecore attacked Roy because he was tired, "felt more was expected than he could handle" and because "he needed more down time."

Even worse: Montecore feels little remorse for his actions even though he told Boyd he probably mauled the wrong trainer. In Boyd's words, "He thought Roy is 'okay' but didn't care for Siegfried."

The chances of Montecore going back on stage again are slim, but Boyd says the tiger wouldn't mind as long as "there's more emphasis on tiger education."
