A tiger cub has been spotted roaming between stationary cars on a motorway in Doha, Qatar.

A 20-second video of the tiger, which is thought to be an escaped pet, was posted on Twitter.

The incident was first reported on the Doha News website.

Although keeping animals such as tigers as exotic pets is not uncommon in Qatar, the practice is illegal.

Qatar's interior ministry said it was following up on the reports.
