A tiger cub is now in the care of Dallas Animal Services after being found in a home raided by Federal agents.
Reports say the tiny tiger was found by U.S. Marshals and Dallas Police who were serving federal warrants at a home on Meadow Gate Lane near Camp Wisdom and South Hampton.
Entering the home, the officers found the tiger cub caged up.
Rumors immediately started swirling that the tiger was walking around the house freely, which officials say is not true, according to Dallas police. He was caged.
Another rumor suggested that the tiger was a fugitive from the Dallas Zoo, eight miles away. Again, not true. But the rumors were such that zookeepers took to social media themselves saying, "we are aware of a rumor that is circulating. We want to assure everyone our tigers are all accounted for and safe here at the zoo."
