For the second time in two weeks, a tiger has escaped from South Africa’s economic metropolis Johannesburg. The big cat was spotted on surveillance video of an office building in the early hours of Monday morning, authorities warned residents of the suburb of Edenvale.
Wildlife authorities have begun searching for the animal and have called for reinforcements from security forces, said Keshvi Nair, spokeswoman for the NSPCA.

Multiple deadly attacks
In mid-January, a tiger escaped from its enclosure in the Johannesburg suburb of Walkerville. The female big cat, which attacked a man and attacked and killed several animals, was caught and euthanized after a four-day search.
Tigers do not live in the wild in Africa, but are occasionally kept on private game farms. The owners of the tiger spotted in Edenvale were initially unknown on Monday morning. (SDA)
