The authorities in the village of Ulič in eastern Slovakia have warned the public about a young roaming tiger that has fled a private menagerie in the Ukrainian settlement of Strychava just over the Slovak-Ukrainian border. The animal has been recorded by camera traps in Poloniny National Park in the meantime. The tiger was transported to Strychava from a zoo in eastern Ukraine at the beginning of the war when it was only a cub. The several-month-old tiger has not been spotted by people on the Slovak side of the border yet and it is possible that it has crossed back into Ukraine. The beast is used to the presence of people as families with children came to take pictures with him in his large cage.
