Live tiger left inside duffel bag by smugglers trying to cross Rio Grande into US, officials say

Three illegal immigrants tried to smuggle a live tiger cub inside a duffel bag across the Mexican border and into Texas, the U.S. Border Patrol said.

The individuals abandoned the duffel bag Monday after being spotted trying to enter the U.S. illegally through the Rio Grande by Brownsville Border Patrol agents. The suspects bolted back to Mexico.
