Siberian Tiger "Plays" With Tourists 

Americanman hahahaha😂

Hahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahahahahahahahaha

😂😂😂😂😂

In India a long time ago when tribesmen and women were being eaten left and right by tigers literally sometimes thousands of people a year they started wearing masks on the back of their head and surprisingly it was very effective at keeping tigers from attacking because instinctively they prefer the element of surprise and don't want to attack if they think your looking

Small cats are the most successful of all felines. While big cats are endangered, small cats are overpopulating the earth. Small cats have a much higher success rate at hunting. Millions of years ago big was always better and there were cats bigger than elephants, then they evolved smaller as mother nature determined smaller is better. I hope we don't lose the tigers and lions next

Inthelight dirty boy

Pretty much

not really, cats practice stalking on all kinds of things including their siblings and parents. When big cat attacks human, it seldomly is because of food and they won't care if your back is turned.

原來還有這種事 只聽說孟加拉那邊老虎襲擊事件太多

Damn you must've had so advanced civilization in 20th century.

@@chrispeeckon5525 nature is raw. Technology and nature don't mix. Even today in the most advanced societies in the world it still comes down to sniffing dogs and human instinct when it comes to tracking predators. Even armed with the most advanced weaponry, it doesn't mean you are safe from a skilled hunter like a tiger. They still wear the masks on the back of their heads to stop a tiger from sneaking up behind

Athenal0ve that's how I approach women. I don't have a girlfriend :/

Vasili Leung You’ll never know it’s behind you

No it actually "never turn your back on a big cat"

Lesson number 2 dont turn your back on any cat especially the big ones

I LOVE cats. always had cats. would love to euthanase myself at the end of me by giving myself to cats. but I would NOT keep a cat the equivalent size to a german shepherd or bigger & expect to not ne killed

Greg Brown darwinism says it's just coincidence plus natural selection - those who didn't had died out, together with others who had no sharp claws, big fangs, whiskers, thick coats ... so there were once a zillion variations of tigers alone and zillions of zillions other "unselected" losers. Darwin thought the earth was bigger than the universe and "evolution" lasted longer than it too.

Greg Brown that's true! It is amazing!

Yet it cant figure out that there is a glass between it and the people?

special on TV showed in wild takes Tiger time to perfect this, but in jungle cat is virtually invisible with it's stripes and silence. Initially they are not so sneaky and quiet, but still eventually avoid making any kind of noise in the foilage.

Hence the quotations around plays.

On the contrary. Do you think this tigress is so stupid she would forget about the glass, despite living there for a long time? If she had forgotten about the glass she would have banged her head against it. She knows damn well she can't get at the person behind the glass: this is just a game, like domestic cats play.

It's still all based on their hunting & stalking instinct, just like a domestic cat's play is... The hunting urges they get don't care about a piece of glass, or that the mouse you are waving around is inedible and made of plastic, they just know that's what they want to stalk & pounce at... They find it enjoyable as play BECAUSE that is their instinct... I imagine they get similar kick from hunting too, considering they don't wait until they are hungry to do it in the wild... Either way, if the glass weren't there, those people would easily be dead, they stalked from behind and went right for the nape when they pounced, which is how they kill prey in the wild.

If it was hunting, the tiger would have charged at them. I mean...it would be a lot faster and a lot more aggressive than that.

no, in the wild they stalk their prey. The sneak up from behind, thats exactly what we see here There is no need for a sprint. They aim for a neck-bite.

Johnnnnnnnn Cenaaaaaaaaaa!!

Hmmmm 🤒

+Mobi vos Lol the tiger wanted to snap the wind pipe not cuddle 🙄

+emosh73 hmm

That is indeed part of it. These tigers are wel-fed, so what they do now is follow their hunting instinct. But as many tigers like to rub cheeks, what these visitors should do is make the appropriate move along the glass, just as they would do with their cat, and they will find that the reaction is the same (until they turn away and spray you - thank heaven for glass). I've found out myself that tigers have nice soft fur on their cheeks.

Yeah, with their bones.

DaSnarky Remarky They were still pretty young too, 14 months i think. The mom was easily double their weight.

Yes they appear huge, larger than what they are,because the cats have evolved into making themselves look bigger while charging or displaying by expanding their fur and other subtle body moments to give impression of monster in close ups.

Both tigers appear to be female. Males are more than twice the size actually. Ouch.

i really want that to happen. the flip side is the tiger would be shot. pathetic ppl

Lol! That's because the tiger is cage, that's why. Lol! If it wasn't that cage she would be the tiger's favorite meal friendly or not. Lol!

goethe, Then that tiger can be turned into a beautiful rug.

***** i would love that. please make sure its my aunt k. or my cousin . all the best (=^w^=)

***** stuff that horror/action/murder movies are made of.

Not "almost as if": that is exactly what happened.

DieFlabbergast I am not going to make a claim of absolutes. I cannot read the animal’s mind, only make assumptions based on its behavior. Hence “almost as if.”

TotalMishap how when it's their camouflage? I'm sure when they are stalking its prey it thinks it can't be seen.

Eye contact... They can see the prey's eyes, and if they see prey looking at them, they know they lost, and they usually give up. Chasing would be a waste of energy at that point... Cats have virtually no chance of chasing down anything once it becomes aware of them... They are not built for chasing at all which is why they rely on surprise... Instinctively, they always try to come from behind, and rely on stalking and getting close enough to pounce before the prey can get up any speed. People working in the bush around tiger sanctuaries wear masks on the backs of their heads with fake eyes, that actually keep them safe by fooling any tigers behind them into thinking they are being watched.

& he knows your just a small, slow weak stupid ape. can't even climb a tree with any speed. you weigh MAYBE 200lbs. they weigh 400-500lbs. you probably have about as much meat on you as one of their back legs. make no mistake. a Tiger sees everything that isn't another Tiger as Prey. they eat bears & crocodiles FFS! lol

Who doesn't right? Such majestic animals..

Marcus Flint 😂😂

SO TIGER HATE YOU

跟大黃蜂一樣不知道有玻璃這東西

+hendyono sasongko I think the kitties just want to play:-)

Lol, no brodher, i think is her instinct is working

+hendyono sasongko no they definately wanted to play

Lol.. It's dangerous playing

hendyono sasongko im a tiger trainer and ive worked for many zoo's and in wildlife reserves. The tiger just wants a cuddle.

Their power outweighs their speed. 200KG heavy beast can jump upto 11-12 feets in a second.

They weigh upwards of 500 pounds on an average; which is way more than 200kgs. Siberian Tigers reach 300+kg so...

They can run up to 50mph for quite a distance. High jumpers, too!

GIRISH KUMAR 80 km per hour

I like how when they can't get the person, and they turn around to look at them, they do the typical cat thing of trying to play it off like nothing happened... "I didn't just do anything foolish, or just completely fail at hunting... I was just getting a drink of water, really..."

Regan Nelson where is there a zoo that is just concrete rooms? I would be interested to see one that is. Maybe in some other country beside the US. I have never seen a zoo with just concrete rooms. I bet you haven’t either. Just want to hate on zoos.

Yeah tigers only attack from behind so when it sees an animal's behind, it will know its prey and will try to attack.

You know the word playing is in quotations right? Sarcasm.
