Tiger Loose In Jackson, NJ? Here’s What Police Actually Found
Jersey's one of those places where you can go from the Shore to the Pine Barrens in a matter of a few minutes, and all of a sudden, instead of sandy beaches, you're surrounded by trees.
And when you're surrounded by the woods in Jersey, it's possible that you may think you see wild animals on the loose that don't belong in Jersey.
A Tiger Was Supposedly Sighted Roaming Around Jackson, NJ
For example, some people may think that they're seeing a tiger roaming loose in the woods of Jackson, New Jersey, and believe it so much that they end up calling the police to have them come and check it out.
A video went viral on social media this week, showing what seemed to be a Tiger roaming around Jackson, NJ. Although we can't find the video in question, it was shared enough online that it prompted several concerned citizens to call the Jackson PD, reporting that there was a tiger on the loose in Jackson.
Where Is The Video Of The Tiger Roaming Around Jackson, NJ?
Now, the video has since been removed because any search I did of "tiger in Jackson, NJ' turned up nothing on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
But if a Tiger were to get loose in Jackson, where would it come from? Probably Great Adventure. They have the Wild Safari part of the park, so maybe a tiger escaped and was wandering around?
No, A Tiger Didn't Escape Form Great Adventure, Either
Patch reports that Great Adventure has confirmed that all of their animals, tigers included, are safe and accounted for, and that none of them got loose at any point in time.
So, where did these mysterious tiger reports come from? My best guess is that it was an A.I. video that was so well done it fooled people into calling the police. Remember that age-old saying? Don't believe everything you see on the internet.
