A tiger has been seen roaming the streets of Qatar and prowling among cars on a major motorway.
While it is unknown where the tiger came from there have been suggestions that the tiger escaped from the back of a truck.
At this stage it is thought that the owner captured the tiger and took it home.
Police have been using social media to try and track down the cat and the owner.
Some wealthy people in Qatar and other Gulf states keep big cats as status symbols despite rules against the practice.

TIIIIIGGGGEEERRRR!!!!!!
If I was the man in the car, I’d be a bit freaked out. A tiger is on the loose, casually walking by all of the cars on the highway. And he’s approaching mine! But it is kind of cool in a way because you don’t see a tiger everyday. I hope that the police find the owner of the tiger and return it to them. ?
Awwww
I would invite the tiger into my car
And keep it as a pet
I love tigers. I have a pet tiger. So I am not scared of one!!
