Police in New Mexico who were responding to a report of gunfire needed an assist from wildlife officials when, while looking for a possible wounded victim, they discovered a months-old Bengal tiger cub.
Albuquerque Police officers found the tiger, which weighs about 20 pounds, in a small dog crate while searching a mobile home they were led to by a trail of blood, according to a news release from police. The gunfire call led responding officers to a convenience store where a bystander there had been shot in the leg. After police heard a gunshot in a mobile home not far from the store, they found and arrested an armed suspect.
Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina thanked wildlife officials for taking the cub to a safe place. In recent years, the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish has noted a “substantial increase in inquiries about permits to import or possess tigers associated with the practice on popular television shows,” a news release from the department says.
