SHERIFF'S Deputies and wildlife officers armed with tranquilliser guns are searching for a tiger that escaped from the US home of an actor who once played Tarzan.

When the first deputies arrived on the scene today, the six-year-old tiger jumped on top of their car, a spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in Florida said.

The tiger was reported missing from Steve Sipek's residence, which is near a wilderness area about 24km west of West Palm Beach.

Mr Sipek kept another tiger, two lions, a black leopard and a cougar on his two-hectare property, the Palm Beach Post reported. The cats, mostly castoffs from zoos, were held in a mazelike series of interlocking cages.

People nearby were asked to stay indoors today, said Willie Puz, a spokesman for the conservation commission.
