Police in Conroe, Texas, found a tiger wearing a collar and leash wandering around the city on Thursday, April 21, 2016.

A tiger seen wearing a collar and leash while wandering around a Texas city was captured by police Thursday afternoon.

Officers in Conroe, Texas, a city 40 miles north of Houston, were working to identify the tiger's owner Thursday night.

The Conroe Police Department started getting reports of the lone tiger around 11:50 a.m. Thursday, according to The Associated Press. She was spotted on Coral Cove Pass, near Longmire and League Line, police said.

Animal control officers found and captured her without incident.
