A baby tiger that was smuggled into the United States from Mexico by a teenager is now safe and doing well at the San Diego Zoo.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized a small male Bengal tiger cub early Wednesday morning when 18-year-old Luis Eudoro Valencia attempted to smuggle the animal into the country in his car. The teen says he bought the tiger (http://www.kcra.com/article/tiger-cub-found-in-car-coming-from-mexico-to-california/12091303) for $300 on the streets of Tijuana from a man who was walking an adult tiger on a leash.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service took over the cub from customs, and it was then passed off to the zoo.*
In a post on its website, the zoo says the cub is in good health (http://zoonooz.sandiegozoo.org/2017/08/25/confiscated-tiger-cub-doing-well-at-san-diego-zoo-safari-park/). Veterinarian Dr. Jim Oosterhuis estimates the cub to be about 5 to 6 weeks old, weighing in at just over 6 pounds.* Read more...
