The tiger was taken to the Dallas Zoo to be evaluated. Meanwhile, Dallas police also said more than 200 roosters were found on the property. Dogs and chickens were also seized from the property.

This isn't the first time a tiger has been found in Oak Cliff, either.

In August 2022, Dallas police found a tiger cub caged inside of an Oak Cliff house while serving a warrant to Dallas rapper Trapboy Freddy. The Dallas rapper, whose name is Devarius Dontez Moore, pleaded guilty in May to an unrelated weapon charge.
