When Zhang Shouzhi alerted neighbors that a wild tiger was loose in Linhu village in northeast China, few believed him until they saw it with their own eyes.
The nearby police unit was alerted to the presence of the tiger on Friday, April 23.

The tiger was later captured by authorities as Linhu residents were told by police to remain indoors for their own safety.
Located around 15 kilometers from the border with Russia, Linhu is part of Baiyuwanzhen in Mishan city, Heilongjiang province.
