Tiger On The Loose In New York Turns Out To Be Just A Very Large Raccoon (Video)

We’ve all heard our fair share of stupid reasons people have called 911, like that time a lady called and asked if there would be real dinosaurs in her town but this one may just top that.

After 911 calls about a “tiger” roaming the streets of Washington Heights, New York officers went searching for the wild animal but found something completely different…a raccoon!

Granted, apparently this was a very large raccoon but a tiger? Come on, people!

One call said there was a small tiger on the loose while another call claimed it was some sort of large feline “possibly with rabies.”

While they didn’t find a tiger, we’re sure these dispatchers were reminded, once again, how downright stupid people can be!

Raccoons, tigers, it’s really an honest mistake anyone could’ve made…or at least any idiot.
