BEIJING (AFP): A seven-month-old tiger fell to its death from a Chinese high-rise building, state media reported on Wednesday, apparently frightened by Lunar New Year fireworks.

A couple driving home from a New Year's dinner found the animal, which they initially thought was a large dog next to the building in Pingdu in the eastern province of Shandong and called police, according to a report in the regional Peninsula City newspaper.
