Tiger spotted in NYC turns out to be a large raccoon

There’s not much wildlife in New York City — pigeons, subway rats, Williamsburg hipsters. 

So when a push notification from the Citizen App informed New Yorkers that a tiger was roaming the street, people were naturally startled and confused. 

According to NBC New York, the NYPD received a call Thursday morning about a tiger that was supposedly spotted on the streets of Harlem.

A tiger loose in Scotland? It can’t be…

Actually that statement is one hundred percent correct. Police in Aberdeenshire received a call from a concerned citizen on Saturday who believed he had spotted a tiger loitering near his farm.

As it turns out the big cat in question was not an actual tiger, but a large stuffed toy.

The North East Police Division published a statement about the incident on their Facebook page.

It’s good to know the police are prepared in case a real tiger ever does go on the lam.
