French gendarmes take part on November 14, 2014 in the ongoing search for what was first described as a tiger on the loose, in the woods of Ferrieres-en-Brie, on the outskirts of Paris. French authorities said on November 14 that a large animal roaming around a town on the outskirts of Paris was likely not a tiger but a different species of big cat. “After an investigation carried out by the National Hunting and Wildlife Office in conjunction with the Parc des Felins (a nearby wildlife park), we can exclude the presence of an animal from the tiger species. The feline… is still being hunted,” said authorities.

A one-week-old female baby Sumatran elephant is seen next to her mother, Siska, at the private Taman Safari zoo in Pasuruan in eastern Java island on November 14. The baby, born on November 6, was succesfully bred in captivity as part of conservation efforts for the critically-endangered Sumatran elephant.
