Mexican authorities searching an abandoned house were left stunned when they discovered a Bengal tiger locked in a cage.


Police officers, who found the endangered animal after a tip-off from a member of the public, say it is a “complete mystery” how the tiger got there.


They were searching a property in the municipality of Chilapa de Alvarez, in the state of Guerrero, when they heard a strange noise.


The female tiger was found inside a locked room and police suspect it was illegally owned.

Police spokesman Leonidas Bueno Escamilla said the big cat was in a “good condition”.
