A man who wrangled a tiger strolling in front of a Houston home Sunday has posted bond over the incident, yet the circumstances of the scene that shocked neighbours and authorities remain unclear. Victor Hugo Cuevas, previously out on bond for an unrelated murder charge, was arrested Monday for evading police, who say Cuevas loaded the tiger into a white SUV and drove off as officers arrived. The whereabouts of the tiger is currently unknown. Cuevas was held on a US$50,000 bond in neighbouring Fort Bend County, which he posted Wednesday. His attorney, Michael Elliott, held a press conference outside the jail with Cuevas by his side. They maintained that Cuevas is not the owner of the Bengal tiger, who they said was a nine-month-old male named India.

But days after the bizarre sighting, authorities and Houstonians aren’t sure exactly where the big cat is.
Here’s what we know about the tiger and what might happen after it’s found.
Where was this tiger last seen?
The 9-month-old male tiger was last seen in public Sunday. Resident Jose Antonio Ramos spotted the carnivore on his front lawn.
“I had to pinch myself,” he said. “Was this real?”
Shortly later, a man came out of a nearby house, straddled and grabbed the tiger, according to a witness’ cellphone video provided to CNN affiliate KTRK.
When police arrived, 26-year-old Victor Hugo Cuevas put the tiger in a white SUV and drove off, police Commander Ron Borza said.

It said a tiger was on the loose in a nearby Houston neighborhood. Instead of staying in the house with their doors locked, the two women went on an impromptu safari. We got in the car and went to check it out, Torres told ABC News on Monday. When they reached Ivy Wall Drive in west Houston, they could barely believe their eyes. Torres took out her cell phone and started recording several people confronting a striped Bengal tiger, including an off-duty law enforcement officer backpedaling with his gun aimed at the big cat.
