A tiger spotted on Doha highway today and many witnesses have uploaded pictures and videos of the rare sight to social media platforms.
A video shows a juvenile tiger with a broken chain attached to his collar nonchalantly trotting against the traffic and weaving past idling cars.
The cub apparently escaped from a man who is keeping the cat as a pet. It was not clear if the man had been driving on the highway when the tiger took off.

Stunned motorists looked on as the predator prowls between vehicles, with one driver beeping the horn of the car, which is audible in the 20-second videoclip.
Though is not yet known where the tiger escaped from, local media have reported the endangered big cat appears to be an escaped pet.
The Gulf state’s interior ministry posted in Arabic on Twitter that it was following up on reports of the loose tiger but has not confirmed any further details.
It wrote: “We assure everyone that the authorities are following what has been circulating (on social media) regarding a tiger being seen in specific areas of the country.”
