Some interaction with the Amur Tigers at the Columbus Zoo. There are 5 in all, a mother and her four daughters. If you visit near closing they are extremely active and playful. They also have two boys in a nearby enclosure, but they aren't quite as much fun.
The tiger does not look away, he is focused on her as he stalks her. I like the part when she looks over her left shoulder and for a few seconds the tiger freezes-like: "I'm just a tree,"

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
Ahhh so cute. The tiger just wanted to eat you. It's so sweet.
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.
Ricardo Caldera hahaha
+ahadicow I m from the country of royal BENGAL tiger, and I know tigers don't attack u unless ur back is facing them, unless of course if it's a man eater
That stealth though.
+Marco Perez messi is the goat
Stealth has increased to 120 - Khajit is innocent of this crime .ddd
lol
Leo Messi This should be the best comment!

I see my cat do the same exact thing when he sees a squirrel on the other side of the patio window. Amazing how all cats are the same...except for size. It’s so cool to have these beautiful, magnificent, graceful little killers right in our homes!
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
Lol! Love how they go on sneaky stalk mode.
unfortunately, many many victims don't end up loving the "sneaky stalk mode". However, I do agree that it's pretty amazing how tigers stealthily get as close as possible while prey looks the other way. That's why people in tiger regions wear masks with fake faces on the backs of their heads
O.C. Sky .. apex predator
Athenal0ve that's how I approach women. I don't have a girlfriend :/
This is exactly why a hundred of years ago tribal people in India wore masks on the back of their head while walking through the bush and surprisingly it worked very well at preventing tiger attacks because instinctively tigers love the element of surprise
原來還有這種事 只聽說孟加拉那邊老虎襲擊事件太多
@@Tube-bh5ud 中国发生过袭击事件吗？
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
Lesson: don’t ever turn your back to a tiger
Vasili Carnival in Rio
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
Look at that cat move its front foot only to put its advancing back foot into the same spot in order to reduce the potential crush noise of vegetation underfoot. That's amazing instinct for an animal that probably never spent a moment of its life in the wild.
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.
I walked into the room to get my laptop as my cat was walking out. Pleasantries were exchanged. Then I found this vid in my search history. I admit I'm not unconcerned.
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
That is not playing, that is hunting
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.
Cute Tiger! Thank you for taking care of her.
That foot work though🔥 Tiger be moving like Michael Jackson
Tiger is like "I'm moving so slowly, I'm invisible"
After plan A fails, tiger immediately switches to plan B - act like 'hey am just here to cuddle with ya'
"I'm making the camera shake" Dude, this is actually really good. I've seen PLENTY of videos where it looks like people were using a potato on a stick to film their videos.
you can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me....
Johnnnnnnnn Cenaaaaaaaaaa!!
Holy shit they're huge! The size of a Tiger only gets into perspective when you see them right next to a human.
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.
These humans are the highlight of the tiger's day 🤣
Aww she just wanted to cuddle...
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.
The tiger is so beautiful…just playing❤
Wow! I never get tired of these! I just added it to my KZhead Zoo Animals Behind Glass playlist.
Just make that glass disappear, look what happens!
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.
It’s amazing every step calculated to not make a sound. Absolutely amazing
"Awe, she just wanted to eat you" Omg 😂😂😂
If you see tiger "playing" like that in the wild then go give it a hug.
It’s almost as if the tiger knows that it won’t succeed at actually attacking them, so it only does a halfhearted attempt at the end, whilst giving it the fun of stalking and the people the joy of being stalked ☺️
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.”
I love tigers!!
Who doesn't right? Such majestic animals..
Marcus Flint 😂😂
SO TIGER HATE YOU
So beautiful creatures.
Tiger be like "Ah that invisible glass force always gets me"
Now that is what you called being stalked!
2:20 no I don't think you scared him. Cat's will stock their prey when they know they are not looking. Once you turn your head towards him he knows he lost the element of surprise.
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
So wonderful, beautiful and sweet 🐾💚
Remove glass to make play more exiting
amazing thing is you want to hug them like a puppy. To big and strong though. So beautiful.
They are such majestic animals
Instincts take over.....
Human meat , they’re grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreatt
Tiger or a big cat always attack behind the prey, that's why the tiger act like that lol
+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.
He's right. That is enrichment for those Tigers.
Tiger: someday I will broke this glass I swear
Yeah they playing alright... let them break free and you will be dinner.
The emperor 🐅👑
wow , their speed are pretty fast for that size
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
If I don't move, you can't see me -Drax the tiger
It just shows you can put them in a cage but you can't take that wild out of them don't think for a second that if that glass wasn't there this beautiful magnificent creature wouldn't have eaten that precious child great video
I love how the title of the video says that the tiger is playing with them!! Yeah how about we let him out of the cage and test that theory?! Lol I think it might be more like trying to have them for dinner!!
They are so cool behind the glass ^^
Funny how their instincts take over and they can’t even remember that there is glass there.
跟大黃蜂一樣不知道有玻璃這東西
this tiger very beautiful
THE KING 🔱
Very beautiful big catz
Tiger: but...wait... what?! MomTiger: How many times I told you not to try to catch a human on the TV screen!
shes clever enough to know the glass is there, she probably just stalks out of boredom
their zoo enclosure is really good looking compared to others, which are just concrete rooms
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.
it not trying play trying to eat
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..."
"Siberian Tiger Plays With Dead Tourist" - that would be great!))
Wonderful animal.
The title should be Siberian tourist playing with tiger...😁😁
Oh Mah Gah, dudes at the club sneak up on ya like that after too much Hennessey.
Oh how softly he was coming😂😂
That's how i roll towards the kitchen when my parents are asleep
When you sneak into the kitchen at 3am to eat some shredded cheese
One day Tigers will work out that their claws can cut glass
All that effort for a pain in the glass 🤭
Glass: You are welcome.
short term memory tiger !
The big kitty was restored back to factory settings .
🐯 Totally oblivious to glass: "Maybe this time... This time... This time, this time, this-, this-, THIS-, THIS-, THIS- ARGH!" 😂 i.makeagif.com/media/5-06-2015/RkjHVD.gif
Man these tigers are huge. Siberian tigers are not doubt bigger than Royal Bengal tigers
He is not playing, he is hunting. When they attack their prey, they move towards it without making any noise, just like in this video.
i dont think it was tryibg to play
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.
Imagine the scene with no glass! This tiger is in hunting mode
I like animals .
if that glass wasn't there, she would've found out the Tiger was far from playing.
Those tigers are huge. Dam, giant tigers lol
Full on splinter cell stealth mode
Are you sure I’m a tiger? I don’t feel very much like a tiger.........Maybe I’m just a vicious ass Koala Bear, did you ever investigate that?
So nice
"Stupid humans they can't see me coming when I'm in stealth mode"
Aha aha ..... breakfast ! .........
in the wild 'if you see it coming then you can never see another one'
Damn that Slow motion walk
I love the stalking !
The Indian guy made the whole scene recreation more realistic
I disagree with those who don't think the tiger is playing; all cats play. It is probably true that the stalking was triggered by the people having their backs turned, because it is also true that all cat play is basically hunting practise.
Since they know from practice they can't get at you, it really is just cub like playing at hunting. So cute. Sort of sad to, that it is a highlight to them daily. But I guess it beats getting poached. 😞
If that glass was not there. O I perish the thought. 😲😵😭
I seen one where a tiger was stalking a toddler and when the child stumbles the tiger lunged for the babe. Saw a weakness and pounced. Didn't give no thaught about the glass. Wild shit...
Stalking mode
Stealthily...quietly...yeah, gonna eat a human for lunch. Damn that glass!!!
That is too cool.
Tiger wants lunch.
The hunt is on when the cat sees the back of the head knowing it can grab the throat before being seen. .
You never back a wild cat
Tiger is The best
Tigers be cool 😎!
Yes they want to play, ‘toss the bones’.....with his bones, Ha!
It's so cute how that monster tried to savagely kill those people
Awww, they're bored. They just want to play
so sneaky
