Tiger escapes in Las Vegas


A tiger used in a magic show did a vanishing act from its pen and roamed the streets of Las Vegas.

Local police say that a resident in the north-west of the city called police at around 9pm after seeing the beast in the street outside, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Officers were despatched to recover the big cat, which belongs to the Fernando Brothers Magic Act. It was quickly tracked down to a domestic yard and returned to captivity.

Lt Les Lane of the Las Vegas Metro Police confirmed that no-one had been hurt during the tiger's brief escapade and that no charges would be filed.

However, animal control officers will be working with the tiger's owners to ensure that he didn't sneak out for any more evening strolls.
