Panjo – the 17-month-old Bengal tiger – has been found.

Panjo was found near Bronkhorstspruit in Pretoria after trackers found his tracks in the area, and tracker dogs were sent to follow the tiger’s scent.

A tired Goosy Fernandes – who is the owner of the tiger – told YFM News this morning Panjo recognised his voice and was lured out of the bushes with a piece of meat.

Fernandes also thanked the public for their assistance and support in finding Panjo.
