Border Agents Search Duffel Bag, Find Tiger
BROWNSVILLE, TX — A tiger cub that was found unconscious inside a black duffel bag by border patrol agents in Texas is now recovering at a local zoo. Three people tried to enter the country unlawfully on Monday, prompting Brownsville agents to respond, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a release.
The trio was carrying a duffel bag when they were spotted. They abandoned the bag and returned to Mexico, officials said.
The agents looked inside and found the tiger stuffed inside. Officials estimated the tiger was about three to four months old.
Irma Chapa, communications director for the Rio Grande Valley section of the agency, wrote in a tweet that it was "NOT an average day in the field."
