October 5, 2003 -- In the urban jungle that is New York, cops found a 400-pound tiger and a 3-foot alligator relative in a Harlem apartment yesterday after their owner was hospitalized with suspicious bites on his arm and leg, police said.
Antoine Yates, the would-be tiger tamer, was arrested last night in Philadelphia, and charges of reckless endangerment are pending.

Yates had checked into Harlem Hospital on Wednesday, telling doctors he was attacked by a pit bull on his right arm and right leg, but physicians who examined him weren't buying it, police said.

Yates checked out Friday and doctors called police, who had already received an anonymous tip, and a unit was sent to Yates' fifth-floor apartment at 2430 Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard yesterday morning.

Cops drilled a hole through the door, inserted a portable camera and saw something they don't see every day in Harlem - a tiger pacing the floor like he was in an Exxon commercial.

"This is clearly a first," said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. "This is an 'Only in New York' story."

Naw, you've got it all backwards Jojo. Hungry tigers can feed on inner city dwellers.

It's not quite wolves yet, but we're getting closer.

White people cause poverty? Look at the numbers and get back to me.
