This isn't the first time customs officials have found a tiger cub the object of possible wildlife smuggling.
Last August "Moka," a Bengal tiger cub, was seized from a car at the border by Customs and Border Protection officers.
That cub has been under the care of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Park officials even had a 4-year-old Sumatran tiger cub, "Rakan," from Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington D.C. flown in as a companion.
That pair can be seen now at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's Tull Family Tiger Trail.
