Tiger on loose for nearly a week moved to sanctuary
Previously missing Houston tiger heads to sanctuary UP NEXT The tiger loose for nearly a week after seen roaming the streets of a Houston neighborhood has been moved to an animal sanctuary. India, the 9-month-old Bengal tiger, will be introduced to a half-acre wooded plot at the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Murchison, Texas, Noelle Almrud, senior director of the sanctuary, told reporters at a press conference Sunday morning. He will be examined by the staff veterinarian and will be quarantined for 30 days. While India, who already weights 175 pounds, is still playful at this age, he could prove deadly once he matures into adulthood, Almrud said. While the cub is used to interacting with humans, the two other tigers the group has rescued from homes in Texas Elsa and Loki quickly acclimated to becoming wild tigers and receive no direct interaction with humans, she added.
