A tiger apparently got loose and was prowling around cars stuck in a traffic jam in Qatar.

The big cat was captured on camera in Doha, the capital of the Gulf country.

Later in the clip, a man is seen trying to pull the tiger’s leash. Local reports suggest that the tiger was the man’s pet.

According to the Khaleej Times, the tiger was brought to Doha to shoot a movie. The tiger was being transported to the shooting site in Umm Salal in a covered vehicle but it escaped after the cage’s door accidentally opened.

In the movie, an actor “is scripted to make a dramatic entrance holding the tiger on a leash,” The Quint reported.
