Coming across a tiger in a field is sure to send shivers down a person’s spine, and disturbing it can be extremely dangerous. But when a man saw a big cat at his farm, things took an unexpected turn and led to a hilarious situation.

A nervous man from Scotland called the police when he saw a really big tiger on his field as cops rushed there with several vehicles and an armed response team. They also called a local wildlife park to check if a tiger had escaped from there.

But only after a 45 minute standoff with the beast, the police realised that it was just a stuffed animal. Pictures of the hilarious incident were posted on Facebook showing a stuffed toy in the farm.

They also mentioned that it was a false call made with genuine good intent instead of a prank.
