Rumor: A lion and a tiger were wandering around the Bolivar Peninsula after Ike.
Verdict: True.
At least two big cats roamed the area following the storm. Here's a photo of Shackle, an 11-year-old African lioness, who spent some post-Ike time hanging out at the altar of the First Baptist Church in Crystal Beach.

She and her owner, Michael Ray Kujawa, were reported to have waded there through the flood waters.
The second feline, a tiger, was an escapee from an exotic pet center in Crystal Beach.
Said Galveston County Judge Jim Yarbrough Tuesday: ``Turns out there's a tiger, and I understand he's hungry ... so we're staying away from him.''
Officials said both were captured Thursday.
