Animal on the loose in Texas is a bobcat, not a tiger

Panic struck the city of Rowlett, Texas, on Monday afternoon following reports of a tiger on the loose in the area.

But officials soon clarified their story. In a shocking twist, the feline creature skulking around Rowlett was revealed to be a bobcat—not a tiger.

Once again, the animal appears to be, rather than a tiger, a bobcat. Stay safe, and we’ll check in the next time someone makes this mistake.
