- Tamar Lapin, Wire Services

The truth got snarled in a report of a live tiger in an English village.

Armed police and a helicopter went looking for the big cat in Ightham on Saturday — only to discover that the “tiger” was a life-sized sculpture a local artist had created out of chicken wire and resin more than 20 years ago.

A teenage boy from India has high hopes for setting a Guinness World Record.

Vishnu Vasu, 16, of Bengaluru, has created a 10-foot-7inch-tall model of Dubai’s soaring Burj Khalifa skyscraper with 5,450 playing cards.

Vasu said he hopes to break the Guinness record of 25 feet for tallest freestandi­ng house of cards.

In another case of animals reclaiming the earth during the coronaviru­s lockdown, hundreds of sheep paraded through the streets of a Turkish town over the weekend.

Video of the herd’s Saturday tour of Samsun was posted on Twitter by Ragip Soylu, a reporter.

It has garnered more than 4 million views.

Little kid, big dreams. When police in Ogden, Utah, pulled over an SUV that was straying between lanes on I-15 Monday morning, they were certain they’d find an impaired driver. Instead, they found a 5-yearold boy, who told them he was on his way to California — to buy a Lamborghin­i.

Oh, he was prepared — with 3 bucks in his wallet.

This Kentucky woman is a covidiot.

She entered a Lexington gas station over the weekend wearing a face mask — with a hole cut over her nose and mouth.

Video posted to TikTok shows Joe Samaan, a counter clerk at the S J Food Mart, asking her, “Where did you get that mask from?”

“Well, since we have to wear them . . . this makes it a lot easier to breathe,” the woman replies.

“Cutting it?” Samaan asks. She nods yes.
