Border Patrol Agents rescued a tiger cub that was being smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico

No big deal, just a tiger cub that Border Patrol Agents rescued on Monday as smugglers attempted to get him into the country:

This adorable little guy was apparently sedated in the bag when the Border Patrol found him:

But back to smugglers for a second… what the heck were they going to do with the tiger?

No worries. It was just a tiger being smuggled across the border. Good thing it wasn’t any thing dangerous. https://t.co/9JthbPZ74z
