A social media post saying there is a loose tiger off U.S. 501 and that there’s a $10,000 reward for catching the cat has been making its rounds on Facebook.
Fortunately — or unfortunately if you’re a tiger wrangler in need of $10,000 — the post is fake. A reverse image search of the picture reveals the post is a viral hoax that has surfaced in many different cities across the U.S., such as Houston, Texas.
It’s unclear where the post originated, but you don’t have to worry about a tiger attacking you in Conway.
