"This was not a vehicle or a dog bite. She was kicked or hit with something."
An injured tiger cub has been found dead in a Benoni driveway.
Chantal Kingsmill said she got home on Saturday night to find the 10-week-old animal lying dead in her driveway.
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) officials said the animal died of a blunt force trauma.
"Her vertebrae were snapped by some kind of blow," SPCA spokeswoman Isabel Wentzel told The Star.
"This was not a vehicle or a dog bite. She was kicked or hit with something."
It was not clear where the animal was from, but Benoni has several small-holdings.
The SPCA and Green Scorpions were trying to trace the cub's origin by investigating whether any Gauteng resident had recently applied for an animal permit.
