Usually it's a few piebalds on the run or maybe an aggressive swan stopping traffic in Ireland. It's a different story if you live in Qatar. This was the scene that greeted drivers on a motorway after a tiger broke lose from a van transporting the animal. Thankfully the wildcat was caught safely and nobody was hurt.
The tiger kicks off a traffic-related blog. We got LOADS of crazy stuff so put it together here:
Here are some more photos we received - apparently this was on the highway this morning. #unconfirmed #DohaTiger

Another motorist filmed the point at which the tiger fell out the back of the van. Thankfully he was okay but what a moron driver. If you're transporting an effin tiger LOCK THE DOORS!!!

And someone has helpfully compiled a video made up entirely of British drivers swearing. Obviously NSFW. "Shitting Peugeot."
