NEW YORK (CNN) -- Police sedated and removed a 2-year-old, 300-pound tiger that was living surreptitiously in an apartment building in Harlem on Saturday evening -- only to find a 4-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 cage. Police then found the caiman and removed it as well.

The discoveries were made after a tenant in the building -- apparently the owner of the creatures -- showed up at a hospital Friday night after having been mauled, police said. Police then went to the apartment and found the tiger seated by the window in apparent good health, said Larry Wallach, a tiger specialist from Suffolk County.

Wallach, who is licensed to handle tigers and has several at his house, said he would take the big cat home.

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.

This story is serious idotacy! These animals need to be rescued ASAP. As for the residents of this apt. - I would say they're in seriously jeopardy as well.

What was he thinking?
