South African authorities are on the hunt for a privately owned tiger which escaped from a property in Walkerville south of Johannesburg.

The female tiger escaped after the fence was cut on Saturday night, local media reported.

It is said to have attacked a person. It also killed a dog and mauled another.

Animal care authorities have urged people not to approach the tiger on the loose for their own safety, as it is dangerous.
