"There is a tiger walking down the exit ramp onto the interstate," 911 operators in Georgia heard Wednesday, prompting a feverish response from police and plenty of speculation on how the animal got there.
That mystery is now solved. A microchip implanted in the female Bengal tiger, shot and killed as it attacked a dog in Henry County early Wednesday, revealed the animal belonged to Feld Entertainment, a live production company that formerly operated the Ringling Bros. circus, reports WXIA.
