A man has been arrested in Mexico after taking his unusual pet for a walk - a 77lb Bengal tiger. The soldiers arrested the man, identified as Atanacio G., for failing to produce the necessary legal documents to prove ownership of the wild cat, Mexico's attorney general office said Monday. The cat was placed in custody of the Zamora municipal fire department, which posted several images of the cub on its Facebook account. One of the firemen held the tiger up-close while posing for a photo. The fire department provided care for the tiger before transferring over its care Monday to the office of Mexico's Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection [PROFEPA], which would ensure the tiger's safety.
