Police hunt for tiger on the loose near Paris

Police and firefighters were desperately hunting for a tiger on the loose near Paris Thursday after a local resident took a photo of the fearsome animal and sounded the alert, authorities said.

Backed up by a helicopter overhead, firefighters armed with paralysing weapons were mobilised for the search in the Seine-et-Marne district near the French capital.

"We have been running after it since this morning, police officers are trying to intercept it," a police source said.

A local spotted the animal in a supermarket car park, took a photo and then alerted authorities. It is as yet unclear where the animal comes from.

2. Search for large cat (less than 20kg) called off

THE SEARCH has been called off for a large cat, first thought to be a tiger, which is believed to be on the loose in the Seine-et-Marne near Disneyland Paris.

Experts analysing the animal's tracks believe it weighs less than 20kg and security officials have downplayed the threat that it poses.

Locals are still being urged to stay vigilant and to report any further sightings.
