Texas alligators are not uncommon, but a large live tiger strolling through the front yard of a home was captured on camera by a passing motorist and sent to KHOU11 in Houston, generating a lot of buzz.

The video provided to the station by citizen Maria Torres shows the tiger, albeit with a collar, walking in the front yard of a home completely unchained and unguarded by humans.

Local police said the tiger appeared in a residential area of Houston’s Memorial neighborhood around 8 p.m. The video shows a man with a gun calling the tiger home in a front yard and finally being taken inside by the man.

The outside world is curious, Texas can keep tigers in their homes? It is not clear how the police will handle the accident.
