What kind of tiger was it?
This is a true story.
It happened in England on a spring day in 2011.
Alan Carr was on a walk near Marwell golf club.
He noticed a strange animal in the long grass and climbed up a tree to see it with his binoculars.
The animal was a white tiger. Alan climbed down the tree and called 999. A police car arrived at the golf club in minutes. And at 4 p.m., all the players stopped their games and walked into the club house. Then a police helicopter arrived. After that, police and animal experts walked across the grass to the tiger. They were surprised because the tiger didn’t move . Suddenly, the wind from the helicopter pushed the animal onto its back. And then they realised
that it wasn’t a real tiger. It was a toy.
