Escaped Bengal Tiger Captured in Mexico

A Bengal tiger that escaped from Quinta La Fauna zoo in Reynosa, Mexico, prompting fears it could cross into Texas, has been captured after nearly a week on the loose. The tiger, weighing over 200lbs, was initially reported missing when zoo staff found its mesh cage destroyed. Authorities tried to tranquilize the tiger, but it managed to hide among trees, killing some local animals in the process. The capture occurred near the village of Los Longoria, where officials used bait and motion detection devices. Despite initial concerns, there was no evidence the tiger had crossed into Texas, though local authorities had warned residents to be vigilant. The zoo remains closed, and details on how the tiger escaped are still unknown.
