 Texas authorities busy trying to clean up after Hurricane Ike have a new problem
on their hands: There's a tiger on the loose. A county official said Tuesday that the
animal somehow left its enclosure at an exotic pets center in Crystal Beach.
Animal experts are coming in to try and catch the tiger.
Galveston County Judge Jim Yarbrough put it
this way: "Turns out there's a tiger, and I understand he's hungry ... so we're
staying away from him."
Crystal Beach is on Bolivar Peninsula. The
area is one of the hardest-hit by Ike.
The news follows reports of a lion holed up
in a Baptist church with its owner on Bolivar Peninsula as well as livestock and
other animals roaming amid Hurricane Ike's wreckage.
