Tiger on the loose in Paris

In a town outside Paris, cops, firemen and a hunting dog are searching for a large feline believed to be a juvenile tiger. A frightened resident alerted officials after she encountered the critter in a supermarket parking lot in Montevrain, east of the French capital. BBC News:

Officers armed with tranquiliser guns have been combing countryside outside the town, helped by a helicopter. Residents of Montevrain and two other towns have been told to stay indoors. As darkness fell, the Montevrain council said on its Facebook page that the search had been called off for the night but local schools would be secured by 08:00 on Friday.

Eurodisney, which is located nearby, says it’s not their tiger and not their fault.
