@football soccer I don't think Enzo is declawed. Declawed paws look different. Tigers clawas are retractable and they are covered all the time by thick fur except when they pull it out. You can't see them in a normal condition.
@RANDOM RAINBOW I think his suspicion is premised on the fact that Diego never bleeds in a fight, and that it is always Enzo who does. Why would Enzo not use his claws at least once? But on the other hand, from the limited information that I was able to find, declawed paws will generally make for floppy i.e. loosely hanging toes. Enzo does not have that problem. On the contrary, he is able to walk very well, and stand for a tad little longer on his hind legs than Diego during their plays (or fights; call it what you will). I also read that declawed cats are very likely to become aggressive because they can no longer defend themselves, while Enzo is probably among the friendliest, calm and collected tigers one would ever find. On the whole, it seems very unlikely that Enzo has been declawed. But it is interesting that he never uses his claws on Diego.
I dont think Enzo really wants to hurt Diego. Enzo is confidant and secure in his strength and doesn't waste his time using his real weapons with Diego. If Diego really went after Enzo and stayed in there I think Diego would be in serious trouble. I would be uncomfortable with someone who when we fight I pull knives and shit and they laugh grab a knife and tell me you gone need at least 2 of them to have a chance. If you run into someone like that listen to me..forgo the tough act and run like you've never ran before. That's Enzo, Enzo casually defends himself and sometimes picks just so he can show im still the alpha in this bitch.
The fact that dog was barking to warn you about something is just amazing. After you lock Diego up the dog stops barking. Animals are truly magnificent creatures.
*hellish tiger noises* "Ah, there it is." That's such a dad thing to say, I kind of chuckled despite the fact that, y'know, Diego and Enzo were goin off
Agreed. Usually it's the other way around, with Enzo being the naughty one and riling Diego up. But this time, Diego is the one to be naughty. Enzo was quite grumpy.
He ran from Michael actually. Diego is afraid of fire extinguisher more than anything. Look at how Diego's ear/head turned as soon as Michael opened/slid the door.
Rysdan9 I don’t think so honestly i had to rewatch just to see what your talking about and everything i said was right Enzo had enough when Diego scratched him on the arm and got serious
@@mockingmicah5045 somehow you missed the massive takedown Diego did on Enzo and then Enzo growled 3-4 times, then Mike slide open the door, Diego's head and ears moved and he ran.
The people who suggest giving the boys a female or letting them mate do not understand what they say. A female is the last thing you could use to cool down the conflicts between two males. And if you let them mate they would be even more aggressive and sensible about terriority. What you are gonna do the next mating season?
And Michael already said that him not gonna breed them, Enzo and Diego are in a pretty good relationship between two male tigers tho, most of sanctuary just keep them in separate enclosure but not socializable like the zoo house.
The dogs could feel the energy of two angry tigers and were letting you know. Amazing. It looks worse than it is, and it's scary! Their ability to heal is stellar, so no worries about the wound. I love Poukie, he's so beautiful! Happy holidays to everyone at The Zoo House!
Whenever I watch Michael Jamison’s videos I always feel so peaceful thank you for all the love and effort you’ve put into giving animals the best life possible I hope more people with wealthy financial backgrounds do the same
He didn't just grab the tigers because he wanted tigers, they were in need.. if humans would just leave nature alone they wouldn't need us to rescue them. Poachers and then the circuses take the life out of these animals and when they aren't of any use to them anymore they just leave them to die. It's sad. However I do agree that it would be nice if more wealthier people would be willing to take care of these animals that can't be released in the wild bc of human abuse and being somewhat domesticated (I say that lightly) I THINK he rescued all three of his tigers but the one died a long time ago.
@@mandielou I agree totally. It is sad that these big beautiful animals have to be confined with not much to do but I am grateful for Michael loving and taking care of them since they can't be in the wild. But then I wonder, how come they cant be in the wild. It seems as though they would be able to hunt and defend themselves, if need be. I am also wondering if boredom and being confined is starting to getting to them, which is making them cranky.
@@Gtamaster34 I think there is something terribly wrong with her disposition. She always presumes that everyone wants the worst. Or maybe she is under some delirious impression that these tigers are hers and Michael stole them. She is without exception negative in every video that Michael uploads. Unfortunately, in her ostensible attempts to sound the stereotypical wise old soul, she comes across as an ostentatious pontificator.
Michael actually had a terrible home invasion a few years ago. It was a robbery they had machine guns. Michael had a gun put to his head. They took the safe. I don't think they'll be back since the addition of the tigers. You can look up the episode where he describes it. Terrifying!
Wow, that was a great episode. Very scary at one point. I'm really glad the boys never take things too far, theyre such magnificent animals. You've raised them so well Michael. Considering they're 2 male tigers, you've raised them unbelievably well.
And I think Diego started to regret his challenge once Enzp took him up on it! He was all to happy when that gate closed! lol Still beautiful! Still best friends! Families fight. But get over it.lol
@@wordswritteninred7171 It doesn’t look like Diego wanted to stop. The only reason he hid himself was because he heard Michael and probably imagined the fire extinguisher coming.
@@GeorgiaAndrea Go back and watch again. Before Michael even said anything, Diego was leaving. And he didn't just back up. He ran behind the wall. All of these things reveal what Diego is thinking. If he was stopping because of Michael, he would have still stood his ground. He didn't. He retreated. Enzo had backed him up, and in a tiger fight that means something. No. He changed his mind and was happy to hear Michael yell Enzos name lol and even happier to see that gate! I am curious. There seems to be more spiffs between the two the last few weeks. Wonder if something triggered this spat. Or if this is typical. And we are seeing more lately. Although Michael said he never had to cage them before. Or if maybe Enzo is getting to an age where he is slowing. And Diego is trying himself. Or if there is something in the air some smell, that is triggering it. Or if they are just grumpy lately. Lol either way. Love watching Michael's channel.
Michael has the perfect Calming personality to manage a Zoo-house. He is so-in-touch with the animals, he can sense things before they happen. The real-life Dr. Doolittle ( only more cool ). Love your videos brother. Stay Safe.
Here's more😉 Watch "Enzo blames him for Ozzy not being here anymore ! January 2015" on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_OjensepKLc.html
I'm starting to tell Enzo and Diego apart 😊 Diego's fur is more orange, he's active, big appetite and has eyebrows but Enzo has lighter orange fur, has alot of fluff around his face, grumpy and keeps to himself 🧡🖤
Same I just started telling them apart also except Enzo is actually chill & Diego is the grumpy one always trying to prove his strength since he’s younger 😂🐯
i would LOVE to have you as my neighbor! :D Easily the coolest neighbors, ever??! 24:30, that was hilarious! That look of "how dare you" across his face, haha!
@@randomrainbow8423 not true tigers only come together when its time to mate, male will follow female for several days mating 100 of times during that time period. Male tigers control a big territory and in that territory there are females that live their. While there is young male who might try to live in that territory but soon as the dominant males finds out the younger male is usally chased away or killed. There has been one case of tigers forming a group but it was 4 sisters i belive, male tigers living in group or even pair has never been seen
@@sr-hd3bz it has. Tigers even group up for hunting at times. Tigers are as territorial as humans are. We have our own territories and won't let anyone take it from us but that doesn't mean we won't allow other known people to come into our territory. I'm sorry if I'm wrong but I've seen some videos where tigers were hunting together and also tigers living beside one another peacefully.
@@randomrainbow8423 tigers and humans are very different, you cant compare a solitary feline with social hominid. Humans crave to be in groups, we need social interaction every day and it’s been this way for thousands of years we have hunted in groups live together and done everything together. Tigers rearly come together as a group to hunt other than to maye even when they do it’s usually females and it’s very short terms. There has been no record of male tigers coming in groups or pairs to hunt or live together like lions do.
Michael, I told Jackie too I think you both are amazing people. Thank you for all you do. I don't know how you both do so much every day, but you both are very inspiring. The world would be a much better place if there were more Michael and Jackie's in the world.
@@marianne3777 alphas exist wherever two or more creatures co exist. There is always that one creature that has the final say in matters, be it humans, cats, dogs or tigers. A team is incomplete without its leader and alpha is just another word for leader.
Michael, I wish I was living next to you. I'd be over every day to help you with all your beautiful Animals. Your such a kind man. I love your channel and you. Love from USA.
Here's some more Enzo growls... Watch "Enzo blames him for Ozzy not being here anymore ! January 2015" on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_OjensepKLc.html
There's another when one of Michael's chicken did die and he gave it to Enzo. Then poor Diego decided to come near only to see Enzo chase him away with a roar. You can see who's really boss when one gets serious.
@@cookiedee8473 that’s exactly the video I was thinking of too! And you put the link, you’re wonderful, now I don’t have to scroll through years of videos!👍🏽 Have a great day and be safe
Michael awesome video as usual. Tiger's having there disagreement about what only they know for sure. But it's over and done with for now, we hope. Poukie's tail feathers look like there coming in now. Can't wait to see what they are going to look like. All your fur-babies look happy. Take care and be safe 😘. I LOVE YOU ALL ❤️. HUGS and kisses 💋💋💋.
I find it so interesting that Enzo is so calm and chill but when it comes to business he's not afraid to kick ass. He's very friendly and collected. Then you have Diego. who is the young one of the two. He thinks he's so tough, and has to show it. He's very intelligent (Both are) He's basically the growing teenager with attitude. These two just amaze me. I love the videos. They have a lot of character to them like many animals.
With two male tigers in a relatively tight enclosure, it's actually surprising they're not at each other's throats more often. I would suggest you get some more means to separate them, like installing some extra gates on both ends of that little tunnel. This probably won't be the last time this happens, so it would be good to be able to separate them for longer periods if needed.
exactly the same with our two house cats, friendly as can be and play / wash each other but you can tell when thier temperament changes. Sure they not as big as tigers but hey can still hurt each other.
Have they been fighting alot I hope not I love all your animals your loyalty, patience and understanding unconditional love you have for them hats off to everything you do
Michael thank you for your videos...COVID and missing holidays with loved ones is really taking a toll and you still manage to put a smile on my face❤️
You are just blessed Michael! You can honestly feel the love you have for all your friends. Keep keeping on and thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us
Wow Just image standing there hear them roar would be epic you can feel it through your bones when he roars like that wow love Poukie so much how sweet we saw poukie out in one of your pic you posted how did he like it kitty should have her babies soon lol cannot wait to see new kittens for sure . Thanks so much Michael have a great day..
Michael is so good and respectful to all animals; even the wild ones such as the birds 🦅. He’s truly a saint and I must admit I miss watching the zoo house! Please keep a eye on those tigers 🐅 Michael, luckily you were able to stop any of them from getting seriously hurt because you are so observant of your animals. I’m the same way with mine, any changes in diet or how they feel or what they do I closely pay attention too in case that there is a problem. I notice that one of the kitties 🐈⬛ is pregnant 🤰, are you going to spay her after she has her litter? Or are u going to have more additions to the zoo house on which I’m sure that you’ll manage just fine! Kittens are so adorable and awesome! I miss when mine was so small. Pokey is such a colorful peacock 🦚, what do you like to feed him? I’m glad that you rescued him! You’re such a awesome pet parent to every animal. Can you consider though making more videos of you with Jackie? Or her interacting with the animals? I haven’t seen her in a while and I begin to worry. Anyways I love the uploads and all of the bunnies 🐰 that you also added to the zoo house! Great enclosure you got for them too! 😏😎😁🐈⬛🐈⬛🐾🐾🐅🐅
They definitely needed to be neutered! They would kill each other over a female. Their enclosure is too small for 2 tigers let alone 3 or 4!! Where is there an exotic vet to come there and do the surgery??
@@mircat28 Cause he won’t have female tigers there to procreate. Like you said the enclosure is not fit for that many and these two tigers have lived along time there and together. Also how do you know he haven’t castrated them already?
Wouldn’t they kill each other over a female? I mean, they’re wild animals. It’s one thing to show dominance, but every species of animal instincts come out when a female is available.
17:34 you can tell by the look of Momma Kitty's teets that she's about to deliver a few bundles of joy!!!😍😍😍 and I hope you're right about the father... He is an absolute GORGEOUS cat!!!
When Deigo didn't chuff at Michael in greeting, that was not a good sign. He had a look of mischief on his face. Those roars would be scary to hear in the wild. Those Tigers 🐅 🐅 could have done serious damage to each other. Michael has excellent construction of the Tigers' enclosures. And it's good that he has that metal grid to come down and keep them in that passageway to separate them as he needed to. And to keep them on the other side when he needs to clean the main Tigers' living area. It's a very good set up he has.
Hey Michael, I've been following your channel since these two were small as medium-sized dogs and I know you really love them, their space is always hygienic, they're very well fed and healthy, but I've thought of something: couldn't you get them more space to wonder around? It just looks to me like it's really the one thing they could be getting better... It's an honest question, don't get me wrong! A big hug from Portugal!
@@munish259272 coz they get fed properly and there's no reason for them to do so as they don't deem the cats and dogs as a food source having been together for 5-10 years
@@munish259272 I suppose they are not fit enough. Diego is anyway a lazy, fluffy, cuddly tiger. Enzo probably is not interested in trying anything of that sort. He walks a lot, eats a lot and sleeps. I also imagine they would need to run a significant distance to gather momentum before so propelling themselves as to be able to jump over. But there does not seem to be sufficient space for this to happen. And they cannot climb the fence the way we would expect a cat to do because they can simply not get a footing.
"I don't think my house make many noises" "naah... except for the occasional spine chilling pants shitting paralyzing surding roar of two tigers" 😆 If I was his neighbor I'd need psychiatrist treatment to get any sleep
diego's Jacobsons organ facial reaction was great! i love when my house cats make that face! never seen a tiger do it but its sooooo much cuter on a big cat like that!!!
Hi Michael, I'm just seeing this great video for the first time. This is when Diego started using his crawls on Enzoki s shoulder and seeing who is alfa male .?? Love seeing the Zoo house back then 😅!jennxx
Michael thank you for the xtra long video..loved it..you and Jackie are special people..I love watching your videos and Jackie's too 😃 I hope you have a wonderful Blessed Christmas ❤ Pokie is very pretty...can't wait for the kittens to come greet their zoo family. I got nervous this time with Enzo and Diego..1st time they made me nervous..but u know how to handle the situation..Love you guys ❤
Michael does pokey have bird seed? I know peacocks are quite delicate, is cat food good for peacocks? You would know more than me. Just curious. Can not wait for the kittens! ❤️ Amy
Looked like an alpha display, Enzo being the oldest and the longest in the pen and Diego being the young gun tried to challenge Enzo for position. Enzo had to enforce the laws of his territory and remind him he's still the sheriff in this pen. Like people have mentioned, Enzo hardly roars but when he does its for something important and when a new tiger is challenging your authority, primal instincts kicks in.
Just to add, I know you care for them and I know this could have got nasty, but you should have just let it happen. They can't rely on human intervention to mediate their disputes. This is the laws of the wild and I know it must be hard for you to accept that since you've grown so attached to them and you don't want to see either one get hurt but these are not domestic animals (as I am sure you know)...these are untamable predators and no matter how much you try to nullify their behavior, sooner or later they will do what they were designed to do, which is why I think it came to you as a surprise since you don't see it often and you yourself have forgotten that they are tigers (not family). This was a friendly reminder.
Aww we know you really take excellent care of all your animals, please don't listen to the ignorant trolls who say otherwise cos they're so sad at their own lives they thrive on bringing others down with them!, brilliantly heart warming video thankyou Michael, stay safe and much love to you all😚💞💖😚🎅🎄 p.s you know us regulars got your back😉
@@petercoxable omg I can't believe the crap here these days from people who are 'keyboard vets', disgusting! I bet you a pound to a penny they wouldn't even say these awful things to his face. Michael knows alot of us have his back on here so we can chase them off, God I love troll hunting hahaha!.
I used to only tell them apart was Diego’s jiggly belly floof, but now I see all sorts of differences. Michael has made it possible to really know these awesome tigers! Thank you!
Far out ay!!! You mentioned you can feel the stress of the tiger when close, that's intense ay!!! Extremely powerful animals!!!!!!!! Greetings from Australia!
That end scene was quite funny when you missed throwing the chicken over the fence and suddenly cats are screaming everything unspirals as you go to check and chase fabrizio but then the dogs steal the chicken and so on 😄 If that happens again you could add the entertainer by janisjoplin in the background to make it even more enterttaining! All in good spirit. : )
People dont learn that death is a part of life. But they think it is an end. But it is just a transition! We miss those who leave. But we should be happy they are continuing their adventure!
Hi Michael you are truly amazing. I know you are so strong yourself and do know those boys so well. I truly think locking up Diego was the best thing to do. I worry that sometimes it can get out of hand.Pokie is doing great and setting a bit more. Yes those boys know you mean business and telling them off when needed. They are good boys too..All zoo house are so indulged.Looking forward to babies and she is doing well.Yes you and Jackie are incredible. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and much love from me Patricia. Thank you so very much
2:48 Something is off with Diego... What?! No chuff back at Dad? And, was that an infrasound growl?? Look at those eyes!! That's a look that tells me to NOT be anywhere near him without a strong fence between us... WOW!! What a mood!!
