Tiger on the loose in Doha
Posted by Mansoor A. Bukhari on Mar 8, 2016
Today, we cover something not related to cars. We received footage of a tiger roaming around the streets of Doha, Qatar like a human strolling in the park. This has diverted the motorists’ attention from the usual traffic they face every morning.
The footage, a 20-second clip, has been uploaded online. This clip shows the tiger cub looking confused and scared on the Qatar Highway. By the looks of it, this tiger cub is someone's pet and has escaped - probably from the car. This has been shared today all over social media.
This is a very common practice in this region to keep exotic animals as pets although it is very much illegal and the repercussions of getting caught could be in the form of a hefty fine.
Update: it seems as if the tiger has been captured as per the latest picture posted below.
