Tiger Weaves Through Traffic On Qatar Highway

A tiger was captured on video tape weaving its way through cars that were stuck in traffic on a highway in Doha, Qatar.

Noticing the tiger wend its way down the highway, one driver started to record the strange sight.

Other people posted pictures of the tiger, including one that seems to show its owner attempting to pull it away on a chain. Aggregating the pictures on Twitter is the account @DohaTiger, which was, incidentally, created back in 2010.

It is technically illegal for people to keep tigers as pets in Qatar. Despite the laws against it, the number of wealthy people having pet tigers has been growing as of late.

“We assure everyone that the authorities are following what has been circulating (on social media) regarding a tiger being seen in specific areas of the country,” the Qatar’s Ministry of the Interior said.
