than Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 It's very difficult to recognize a tiger on the picture, perhaps it will be a Maine Coon cat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other reports show 2 photos.They also say multiple people reporting the sighting to police. Big cat experts say the large head, long tail with distinct black tip and stance lead them to believe it's a tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They found footprints in the sand; experts says between 80-100 kgs ; already big cat ; don't comes from zoos or circus ; may be from a private and illegal owner, now the baby is too big to stay home 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Now this is a topic I can clearly understand. A large predatory cat has escaped captivity and is roaming around Paris, which is the capitol city of France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
