Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with wildlife news. Police in Washington state responded to an emergency call - a Bengal tiger was sitting on top of a car. The Columbian Newspaper reports police discovered it was a stuffed animal. Then there's the elephant in Thailand which reached out and grabbed a tourist's camera.
