A tiger has been spotted near Disneyland Paris.

''My wife saw it this morning. She didn't get out of the car and called me to say she'd seen a lynx''

French authorities are said to be rushing to locate the ferocious animal after it was spotted roaming around near the popular attraction.

Resident Jean Baptiste-Berdeaux told local news reporters: ''My wife saw it this morning. She didn't get out of the car and called me to say she'd seen a lynx''.

According to the Metro newspaper, Jean's wife was among a handful of residents who first spotted the animal wandering around a supermarket car park.

Emergency service crews armed with tranquilizer guns are searching the area for the tiger, which is reportedly hiding in bushes just east of Disneyland, where thousands of tourists are enjoying their holidays.
