Large stuffed tiger strapped to an SUV prompts 911 call from passerby who thought the animal was real

The sight of a life-sized stuffed tiger lashed to the top of an SUV cruising around a southwest Washington lake was enough to generate a 911 call from someone who apparently thought it was real.

Connor Zuvich says he was by Lacamas Lake in Camas, Washington on Monday with some friends when a truck came by and dumped some trash and the giant tiger.

Zuvich, he told the Columbian newspaper of Vancouver, tied it to the top of his vehicle, then he and his friends started cruising around the lake in the enhanced SUV.

Officer Henry Scott was sent to investigate the tiger 911 call, described by Camas police as an 'animal problem.'

The 19-year-old Zuvich says he and the officer traded jokes and photos, then parted ways. 

Other drivers also got the joke, honking and giving him a thumbs-up sign.

As Zuvich says, 'The thing looked really realistic.'
