Authorities think the tiger is somewhere in New Mexico or a nearby state and poses a clear danger to the public. The animal is believed to be less than 1 year old and 60 pounds, but tigers can grow to 600 pounds.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — An alligator, drugs, guns and money were seized during a raid at two homes in Albuquerque last month, but New Mexico wildlife officials said Saturday they are still searching for a young tiger they believe is being illegally kept as a pet.
The animal was believed to be less than 1 year old and weigh under 60 pounds , but tigers can grow to 600 pounds , the department said, calling large meat-eating animals such as tigers and alligators a clear danger to the public. The alligator seized by authorities is about 3 feet long. It was taken to a wildlife facility after state conservation officers and federal, state and local police served search warrants Aug. 12.
