Love the sprinkles comment!

Tiger, crocodilian removed from Harlem apartment
Other residents say they had never seen big cat before
NEW YORK -- Police sedated and removed a two-year-old, 400-pound Bengal tiger Saturday evening that was living surreptitiously in an Harlem apartment building -- only to find a 3-foot-long, 280-pound caiman, a crocodile-like creature, in the same apartment.
The 21-story building was evacuated Saturday after the discovery of the tiger. By early evening, the big cat had been sedated with tranquilizer darts, removed from the building, and placed in a big cage.
Police then found the caiman and removed it as well.
Antoine Yates, the apartment's tenant and the owner of the animals, showed up at a hospital Friday night after having been mauled, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said.
Police then went to his apartment and found the tiger seated by the window in apparent good health, said Larry Wallach, a tiger specialist from Suffolk County.
The tiger is a full-grown male, Kelly said. It is being taken to an animal shelter until a permanent home is found.
Yates will be arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, Kelly said. The case is being investigated.
Residents of the apartment building, the Drew Hamilton Houses, said they had not seen the tiger before, and police said they suspected the man had kept the tiger in his apartment since it was a cub.
