Tyga could face serious jail time for housing an exotic animal.

According to TMZ, after police got an anonymous tip that the rapper had a Bengal tiger in his home, cops went to his LA pad to find the tiger gone.

Due to complaints, the rapper took the animal to a local animal shelter. Since the shelter was unable to keep the wild animal, it was taken to an undisclosed location. It appeared to be in good health.

The rapper often showed off his prized possession on his Instagram, with one photo of the cub on the top of a Rolls Royce.

Tyga is facing multiple fines for breaking the state's Fish and Game Code, which states that animals "must be kept in a permitted facility that is licensed to house and care for restricted species." He can also face up to six months in jail if convicted.
