Search on for Tiger Roaming Military Base

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - A massive search is underway at Fort Polk military base in western Louisiana for a Bengal tiger running loose in the base's pine-covered hills.

Military spokesmen said on Wednesday a team of 100 soldiers, trackers, trappers and police officers using military helicopters and armed with tranquilizer darts had fanned out across the 198,000-acre base in search of the animal.

The tiger is wearing a collar. How it got on the base is a mystery, said Fort Polk spokesman Maj. Ron Elliott.

"We think it belongs to somebody," he said.
