According to the NY Post, “a tiger running loose through a suburb of the Mexican city of Guadalajara was captured after it was lassoed by a man in a cowboy hat, video footage shows.
A passing driver filmed the bizarre encounter and the footage was posted on the POLÍTICO México Twitter account Thursday.
The video was captured by a driver who was passing through a suburb of Jalisco in Guadalajara. The outlet Mediotiempo reported the tiger was found wandering along a highway to the town of Chapala.
Several men chased the animal as it aimlessly wandered down the sidewalk. In the video, one man blocks the sidewalk using a folding chair as a shield before another man wearing a cowboy hat runs up and lassos the tiger.
The tiger reportedly escaped from a private home.
Authorities confirmed that they received reports about a tiger loose in the neighborhood, but both the tiger and the men trying to catch it were gone by the time police arrived.”
