The animals appeared to have been cared for during their disappearance
Two camels and a tiger stolen last week in Canada as they were being taken on a truck trailer to a zoo have been found.
Camels Shawn and Todd and Jonas the tiger were recovered on Monday night on a rural road near Drummondville, central Quebec.
According to reports by Canadian broadcaster CBC, a resident contacted authorities after spotting an abandoned truck trailer.
Richard Gagne, of the Quebec provincial police, says they are "alive and well".
The animals were abducted while being taken on a truck trailer to a zoo
They were on their way last Friday from Nova Scotia to the Bowmanville Zoo in Ontario when their driver stopped near Montreal, for a break.
The zoo issued several pleas and a $20,000 (£13,473) reward for the animals' safe return.
They appeared to have been cared for during their disappearance, according to the police.
On the Bowmanville zoo's Facebook page, a note posted said: "Jonas, Eddie and Shawn are home and safe!!!!!! They got in at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. The rescue team is sleeping because they have been up since Friday. We'll let you know more when we do."
