An elusive tiger that prowled through Ventura County near the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library was killed this morning in Moorpark, but its origin remains a mystery.
The tiger, weighing between 400 to 600 pounds, was sighted walking behind the houses and through the ravines around Highway 23. Nearby is Miller Park, with well-used soccer fields.
According to Troy Swauger, a spokesman for the state Department of Fish and Game, the tiger was spotted about 6:30 a.m., walking through the yard of the Tucker family.
"It was old and tired-looking. It was walking along our fence and then went to our next-door neighbor's yard," Mary Tucker said.
"It was just a weird thing to see him in our backyard," husband Ken Tucker said.
