Escaped tiger in southern Roanoke.

Leave a comment

People, 2025 could not get any weirder than this.  There is now an escaped tiger in the vicinity of Cave Spring/southern Roanoke.  Check the local news.  The radio station is doing better than TV in keeping up with the story, I think, even if there isn’t much detail yet.

Supposedly the animal escaped from its temporary enclosure on Mill Mountain — it was being transported by Jowicker Large Game Farm between Knoxville, TN and the Smithsonian National Zoological Park.  It apparently a “juvenile,” which means it isn’t full-sized, but the news is saying it could easily kill a person.  So don’t mess with it.

There is a Cave Spring resident, April Flanagan, who told the radio that she spotted the animal walking north alongside North Jefferson Street.

I will keep you posted when I learn more.  Please be safe.
