No, that isn’t a tiger. That would be a … raccoon?

It all happened in Manhattan when word spread that a tiger was roaming the streets. However, that big cat turned out to be no more than a raccoon!

From News 4 in New York:

The NYPD got a call about the rogue “tiger” near 166th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue in Harlem around 8:30 a.m. …Shortly thereafter, police confirmed there was indeed an animal sighting, but it was just a raccoon.

Looks like it started on Social Media. And well, we all know how that works.

And thanks to the Walmart kid, Hank Williams is back on the charts! Literally!

Little Mason Ramsey was filmed yodeling the classic written back in the ’40s. Now Mason, the song and the video have gone viral!

From Business Insider:

The 1949 recording of the song by Hank Williams— which made the singer famous — now has a place on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 chart, currently at No. 22.

It reached its height at the No. 4 spot, according to The Washington Post. The song was first published in 1922 by Cliff Friend and Irving Mills, the composers who also wrote the theme music for “Looney Tunes” cartoons, according to the Library of Congress.

Mason – you’re amazing.
