The Bengal tiger that had escaped last week from a Reynosa zoo, close to the U.S.-Mexico border, was finally captured. The 220 pound animal was found on the Mexican side border and was unharmed, according to Reynosa Mayor Carlos Peña Ortiz.

"Following an extensive search and a series of attacks to nearby animals, authorities placed three cages in the area to make the capture without any harm to the animal," reads a passage of the publication, posted on the Reynosa government Facebook page. Another post shows a tiger in a cage lying down on a truck.
