LAS VEGAS -- A tiger is back in its cage after taking a stroll in Las Vegas.

The big cat was seen walking through a neighborhood near Elkhorn Road and North Torrey Pines Drive Thursday night.

It ended up wandering into someone's backyard, where it was captured.

The animal belonged to Fercos Brothers, a pair of magicians who used to have a show in Las Vegas.

The brothers own three tigers, a lion and two panthers.

Animal Control and Metro police are investigating how the tiger got loose.
