[Ch3wyTadpol3]

[musicwps]

who the fuck disliked??

[igethighh]

@musicwps lmfao no?

[jakegamesnake]

The tigers bones and tendons aren't fully developed. If they were, it would raping that dog. He would rape him ruff

[ktqueena]

tiger looks bored with dog

[Laqalletita]

Aww I want one ((:

[dancinggqueeen100]

can u get me one ?

[2pacisthebest1]

I am a cat lover even though i don't like dogs i think this is cute.

[jeezwtfdudeomg]

haha when the tiger is full grown the dog will be afraid for the tiger =)

[Method775]

@jeezwtfdudeomg thats the thing they wont be if they grow up together they wont notice it that much but when a tiger plays like he does with other tigers the the dog is even then fucked up but there is a video here and the owner of the tiger who has also 2 other dogs says the doggs are the boss in house while the tiger is bigger then them ofcourse in the wild its different but in captivity not that way

[amazingdany]

Such a shame that their beauty makes them a huge target... :(

[kootenpv]

this is good...i mean...finally a cat isn't the smallest one compared to them fucking dogs

[Talis116]

tiger cubs are awesome

[zippysdemilition]

i love how the dogs like toy, toy, toy and the tiger is like, GET IN MAH BELLEH

[Fatboylt2]

look at tht killer instinct fuck the toy i'm going for the neck

[maimai26]

Awww!

[CanadianB0B]

wow so awesome! and when the dog uses his mouth now and then the tigers like, "watch it boy, im goin easy with my paws"

[rossell30]

Where do you keep it when it becomes an adult?

[CheetahFriend]

@rossell30 When they are six months old or so, they go to live on a large game park where they have plenty of space to roam.

[Chriskoj]

@CheetahFriend whats a game park

[CheetahFriend]

@Chriskoj The project is in South Africa, and there are large tracts of land set aside for wildlife. Kind of like a national park, they have big cats and antelope and zebra and other animals running around loose. If you drive through them, you have to stay in your car! There are also smaller game farms where each type of animal has its own few acres fenced off for them, and tourists also drive around to see all the animals. Much more open and spacious than a zoo, in both instancs.

[j19b90m]

@CheetahFriend Do they get fed on the game farm? I heard that if there not raised in the wild they can't fend for themselves?

[CheetahFriend]

@j19b90m Yes, they do. The hunting instinct is definitely there (I've seen one of the cheetahs racing alongside a fence when a horse was having a gallop!) but they don't have the skill.

[gamezonic]

@CheetahFriend are they dangerous as cubs?

[CheetahFriend]

@gamezonic I have a scar on my arm from a 10week old tiger cub scratch, though it never even broke the skin properly at the time, it was more of a surface graze! They all play pretty roughly, so you could get hurt if you didn't know how to handle them. And if you've had a kitten try to climb your leg, imagine it with a young leopard 10x the size! If they were mistreated, I'm sure they'd try to bite or scratch to hurt, but with the young ones here, it's all in play, learning to be big cats.

[wakko380]

haha tiger, "you just wait till i get older"

[MsRebecki]

Bless you for working with these animals. We need more people like you.

[55555Ali55555]

where do you live? and how the hell, did you get a tiger??? 

[darkfairyhauntsu]

why so you have... a tiger

[UtilityMailer]

don't these morons realize how dangerous it is to allow a lion cub to be playing with a domestic animal like a dog.

[Ineeee]

@UtilityMailer Don't you think they know what they're doing? I think they've been taking care of these kinda animals for years. It looks like these two are used to playing together, so it's not really that dangerous.

[MrRandomSkitz]

i have a tiger- he's not my pet, I'm just taking care of him and making sure that he gets proper help for his problems but I love him soooo :)

[mehdan2]

@MrRandomSkitz

U should be careful of your life risk! Unsuspecting they change emotion and may attack

[ChErRyaVe20pK]

idk why but that tiger seems to have a Mike Tyson kind of build

[HOCK3YFR3AK17]

Do you think tigers are really that friendly? Like when they grow full size, wont they tear up a dog or do they really bound with them and think of the as a friend.

[skatereatsmonster]

so..its better if you get a tiger when its like lil

[AmMedAss1]

Play is training to young mammals (that's why many humans are so effed up, their young don't play, they sit in front of computers or TVs)....but I digress...

The tiger cub is obviously practicing its "killer-bite-to-the-neck" skills with the dog.

Separate them completely and reunite the two in a couple of years. That's the video I want to see.

[aldinss]

wow tigers paw is biger than the dogs head

wow

nice nice

:}

[azulnashi]

so i see the tiger has a collar around its neck, is that for flees or just a normal collar to walk them? Also are the cubs claws dangerous or do you guys trim them down? And lastly, when the tigers, cheetahs grow almost full size do they still recognize the dogs?

[CheetahFriend]

There were three tiger cubs at the time, so they all had slightly different collars to tell them apart. Otherwise one might end up with more food than the others! The claws were sharp, alright. Still some marks from them. They tend to scratch the trees all the time, so there's no point in trying to trim them. They learn soon enough from yells not to scratch people. When the cubs are five or six months old, they move to parks with a larger area for them to roam in, and don't see the dogs anymore.

[deatman9]

@CheetahFriend hey dude how did u get a tiger? and where can i get me on of them

[CheetahFriend]

The collar is to distinguish them (there were three tiger cubs at the time) so they get fed evenly, and if medication is required, to make sure the right one gets it! They sharpen their claws like most cats and can scratch while playing, but are usually careful with them - you can train them like any cat to play without claws. The lions and tigers leave the project before they're fully grown to return to the game park where they will spend their lives, so the dogs don't see them anymore.

[1998christianvelasco]

^_^(CUTE!!)I LUV IT!!!

[Homicide419]

I think you should be able to own a tiger cub, but when it gets big, you have to keep it in a cage, because when its a cub, its just a big house cat lol

[rezalini]

friends forever

[rezalini]

aah love

[ClAyMaToR13]

the tiger just waits to grow until he eats the dog. :)

[EmoAlex97]

Rotflmao the dog got owned

[maroom1]

Tiger look much better than a dog

[Clutchisback1]

Look how hard the dog is trying....lmao...

[nguyenboy1]

tiger cub: hey, stop it!

dog:nah nah nah nah nah nah, you can catch me!

XD

[tecolote32]

@SCE2AUX: two years from now? Shoot, try 6 months from now!!

[Carycomic]

Ah! The tiger cub who was too camera-shy to play with the baby jaguar and cheetah. Nice to meet him/her, at last.

[MyJDizzy]

Where did you get the cub from!! I love tigers so much!! Please hit me up

[bigz008]

the dog looks retarded and weird in front of the cute little tiger.

[SCE2AUX]

"Oh yeah, I'm just playin' today, but I dare ya to try that with me two years from now."

[starr522]

This video reflects a common ground. These two animals are suppose to be enemies. Just goes to show hate and racism is taught and learned. It is not instilled at birth.

[MEGATRON1892]

@starr522

Racism is instincts. Kids pick on everyone who's different. Unlike tigers humans are pack animals and need to their place in a group of other people. Ginger, black, it doesn't matter as long as someone looks different. Kids are nasty, but that's the way we're made.

[cubanboy585]

A Baby Tiger Cost Alot Rite?

[hollowichigo964]

theres a site that sells 5 month old tigers for $13,400 including an ivory collar and some toys

[cubanboy585]

@hollowichigo964 Damm And What Happend When Grow Up !!

[djzzshady99]

tell me the site please quick!!!

[Godzillasaurus167]

How the fuck did you get a tiger?

[GECK077]

@Godzillasaurus167 she answered that you stupid retard. learn to read before you post.... and you deserve this comment because your a retard for asking... even 11 months ago...

[Anonymusq]

@Godzillasaurus167 My Question is:How the fuck did ur parents let u to keep a tiger?

[Clairski3]

very nice shot! what a beautiful cub! It looks like that dog has got a more active playmate than he bargained for ;)

[ze000ez]

0:52 hahahahahahahhahaa

[iVuDang]

cute

[uchihaitachi34]

how did you get a tiger?!

[englandman2008]

frist u need a license then just find some one thats selling them and buy it :)

[ToaHannah007]

cute! :D

[Metika0]

Funny thing is that they play just like my dog do with our kitten. Only much smaller.

So cute.

[mustafabatihan]

loooooooooooooooooooool

[mehdan2]

AT what Age does the tiger be capable of serious violence and killing human ?

How much time left of tiger cuteness ?

[CheetahFriend]

Well, they were ten weeks old when I took the video, and left little tooth shaped bruises that lasted a week if they managed to nip you in play, so it's not long at all before they could do serious damage. Animals tend to play more roughly tan people, so you have to be careful - if they hurt you, it wouldn't be because they were intending to in most cases, just that they don't know how fragile people are.

[Junije1]

@CheetahFriend "Animals tend to play more roughly tan people."

What are you trying to say? They are more rough to black "tanned" people? Are you trying to be racist here?

[katowarrior]

@mehdan2 two years

[xWeaponOfChoicex]

Can the tiger cub still hurt/kill a human?

[floridden]

nope. hurt maybe... but i dont think they can kill.

[absolutelocation]

lol omg!!!

[AnthraxByEmail]

ron paul kicks ass and all, but what the hell does that have to do with this video?

[eatingualive]

wow hyper-mom dog :P so cute

[111sully111]

if there pets do you have to sell them when they get bigger

[CheetahFriend]

No, they aren't pets - when they are old enough to be past the high mortality dangers of cubhood, they go back to a game farm to live in as free a condition as possible.

[111sully111]

oh gotcha lol

[celledeling]

How did you get your hands on a tiger? i mean are you working at a zoo or is it like a "pet" for u? PLZ reply...:)

greetings Celledeling

[CheetahFriend]

Rianna, who started the cheetah breeding project, began by working with Bloemfontein Zoo, hand rearing sickly animals. Now she does the same thing for a large number of local game farms. They are and will always remain wild animals, never pets.

[Tokiohotelrock135]

after u rare them in ur home, u should really let them go free... and couldent that tiger cub kil ur dog?? well, its rlly cute! i would be scared that the cub would hurt the dog xD

[CheetahFriend]

The cubs are only hand reared until they're about four or five months old, then they're returned to the game farm they were born at, and allowed to roam freely in a large area. So they're still young enough that they obey the dog a bit like a mother, and let her tell them off and keep them in order!

[angeltroea]

cool beans

[gamergirl8745]

the cubs still have sharper teeth than the dog and has sharper claws too right?

[CheetahFriend]

Definitely. But the dog has the air of adult authority, and all the cubs seem to listen to it!

[Syntox]

Cute...BUT This cannot possibly be safe in the long run

[CheetahFriend]

You're absolutely right. Even half grown, they'd likely hurt her without meaning to. But the cubs were being only raised here, along with a number of other cubs. Once they reach three or four months old, most of them are returned to the game farms where they were born and allowed to run free in larger areas. They are hand reared in the first place because of the high levels of cub mortality.

[ronsonol77]

I want to play with that dog too, he's cute.

[CheetahFriend]

She's certainly full of beans for seven years old!

[SupperSubs]

Great video where is this?

[CheetahFriend]

Bloemfontein in South Africa. I know, not the tiger continent, but these days, conservation happens everywhere!

[POPTUB]

We love your video. Thats why we featured it today on POPTUB. Stop by our channel and check it out!

[yomamaserg29]

awesome

[ret]

Declawed and defanged?

[CheetahFriend]

Heh. no, and I had the bruises from the teeth to prove it. But the dog is used to cubs and gives them a warning nip if they get too enthusiastic.

[Trivieta]

Aww so cute! how cool would it be to have a pet tiger that acts like a dog haha xD
