TIGERS LIONS attacking watermelons!

[daleeps]

2:19 soccer player in past life

[theEXdustry]

Do they actually eat the melons, or just destroy them? XD

[BigCatRescue]

@theEXdustry Joseph our male lions actually licks at the insides and seems to like the taste but most of the cats just have fun destroying them :)

[6KawaiiKittyKiller6]

Aww the last tiger has my name! <3

[pabloelcale]

I will send this images to the Watermelon Society, this is so CRUEL!! :'(...... XD

2:07 Don't mess with my watermelon, I'm warning you! XD

Beautiful animals btw!

[Horsepassion4life]

if u listen carefully, you might hear the melons yelling!!! hahaha

[ryuslayer]

Watermelons = toy balls for big cats.

[Smoky688]

lol second 2:38 its like blood spilling into the water

[Smoky688]

lol second 2:38 its like guts spilling into the water

[gregawesome73]

Do big cats knead with their paws like domestic cats when they're feeling affectionate?

[BigCatRescue]

@gregawesome73 It's a good question and one that's been asked before, I've never seen them doing anything like this, but they don't have blankets or anything like that in their enclosures because they would eat them. Sorry can't really answer that one ....??

[Blackrose6767]

Watermelons!! Nom nom!!!

[gingerisevil02]

"simba" means lion in Swahili, why'd you name you tiger that?

[BigCatRescue]

@gingerisevil02 The cats keep the names they have when we rescue them, that's why we have some strange ones! :)

[GrandNecro]

@BigCatRescue I thought u name the tiger simba cause of the movie The Lion King

[asskickerone]

@gingerisevil02 I don't think the origin of the name has anything to do with it. It's from Lion King, you know?

[spycher127]

I love tigers there my fav animal!!

[DarkDreamer126]

I don't think I've seen anything as funny as a Giant Lion carrying a Watermelon like a dog

[TheSonic1685]

hay! joseph has the same name as me

[Willpie13]

YOU NAMED ONE SIMBA!? :D

[horsiegal13]

do Tigers ever go UNDERWATER? just wonderin

[BigCatRescue]

@horsiegal13 Yep! They often dunk down in the water to get something like a pumpkin or watermelon :)

[retardedscarded]

If I was playing a game of futbol, I'd want Nikita on my team.

[Kingofcorrect]

Too bad you couldn't actually have the cast of Tale Spin in the same cage: A Black Bear, an Orangutan, and a tiger

[MrMadmike15]

Now why would anyone want to kill these guys for?

[NoxiNobodi]

Seems like that lion have few rastas :'D <3 it is soo wonderful that you give them thouse toys to trigger their intelelgence and so they wount be bored :3

[RsChannelO]

1:35 = Nerdrage xD

[proud2beBookWorm]

hey i noticed that joseph (lion) has some kind of fur like "appendage" (i dont know how else to explain it) hanging from his neck.... is that just part of his mane and i cant see it right or is that something else??

[BigCatRescue]

@proud2beBookWorm Yes that's just a large chunk of matted mane, it actually fell off a week or so after this video was filmed :)

[dudash27]

LOVE <3 lions and tigers also watermelons!!

[austrianrapacts]

these cats are so beautiful

[dudash27]

That was such a Funny Video, i love Lions and Tigers so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[109367]

this is so much more fun to watch than when we give our cows watermelons lol

[Kittenluvvers]

You need to name one of the Tigers "Ragah"

[NatureMen45]

My favorites are the ones in the little pool

[roflitsdani]

Shere Khan is absolutely gorgeous.

[zachANDthewolf]

1:54 it's funny how that tiger's name is Simba.

Simba means lion in Swahili :P

[HostileSausage]

I think I know what I want to do in a few years, work at a zoo. I love animals.

[OperaGirlK]

How fortunate these animals are to have such wonderful people taking care of them, and how fortunate you all are to get to interact with them. :)

[gourdguru]

Nikita: known melon lover and all star soccer champ!

[Meagan9000Rain]

MY WATERMELON!

[Meagan9000Rain]

MY WATERMELON RRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAA­AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! HISSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[darkria4]

Do you think that your cats would try to hurt the keepers? Of course they CAN be a threat, but they just don't seem like they would hurt someone.

[BigCatRescue]

@darkria4 Yes, definitely, these are large, dangerous, wild animals no matter how cute they may look in some of our videos given the chance they would become aggressive.

[darkria4]

@BigCatRescue Yeah, I would think so. Thank you for answering!

[whitetiger769]

@BigCatRescue you mean in all of your videos

[scat4u]

@darkria4 that lion is scary, but you're right about the tigers

[BlueAuraWolf]

That is precious! Nikita was chasing it and just having a grand time. :]

Thanks for uploading these videos. They're amazing creatures.

[chickenpoper]

how do these cats react to cat nip? can you please make a video of them attacking a watermelon with catnip on it? :)

[BigCatRescue]

@chickenpoper Beat you to it! We have a catnip video on our channel already, I will send it to you :)

[KiwizNz4lyfe]

@BigCatRescue How come Tigers get so big?

[whitetiger769]

@KiwizNz4lyfe for survival

[grarg12345]

@BigCatRescue can you send it to me too please

[klleptic]

Wow this video really shows how tigers are just like playful kitties, except, you know, the fact they could easily chomp off your hand just like they're doing to those watermelons O.o

[houaleethao]

FYI A TIGER CAN KILL A LION,WHY?Cause they have moer bigger paws!!!!and theur more heavy..haha i love tigers!!!!

[crazyclarinetplayer]

Aww, I am so happy to see that so much is being done for big cats. These Supersize-kittehs are happy and well taken care of :)

[Gaz10t]

Do you guys have any 'hands on' contact with any of their big cats?

[BigCatRescue]

@Gaz10t No, we have a strict no contact policy.

[duckpwnd]

@BigCatRescue Is it difficult to resist the temptation to give them all a bunch of hugs?

[BigCatRescue]

@duckpwnd Nope, once you've spent a lot of time around these cats and have seen both the cute side and their naturally wild side you know how dangerous and unpredictable they are :)

[crazyclarinetplayer]

Dear BCR, why is Shere Khan so fat?

[BigCatRescue]

@crazyclarinetplayer As a cub he wasn't fed properly and was caged in a small space so his legs didn't develop properly and along with poor nutrition at such a crucial stage he doesn't look the best. He healthy and happy now though, even though he hasn't got the ideal "tiger look"

[awright0517]

howww cute:))

[Jmacmac101]

I love tigers. Their my favorite animals in the world.

[ItsCorrineSoScream]

All through out this video I was thinking of China Doll just because of her name xD

[NSalex12]

My names Alex and I have always viewed myself as a Tiger. There My Favorite Predator!!!

[ella122112]

Beautiful! Are you volenteers or paid workers? Either way I want to help out there or a place similar whe I'm older!

[BigCatRescue]

@ella122112 We have 9 paid staff members and over 100 volunteers, our volunteers are the ones that really keep the sanctuary functioning AND progressing, without them we would be in trouble. You can find out about volunteer opportunities at our website BigCatRescue*org

[molonlave2010]

was that a cougar at 1:25 ?

[BigCatRescue]

@molonlave2010 Nope, that was Nikita a lioness :)

[AdiktdToLoli]

wow.. those names cant be original.. xD

[thezerolamp]

Watermelon+Lion=Best Enemy ever

[RaiNai2k7]

wow... Simba grew up to be a handsome TIGER!!! =p

[AmarenaFlazreo]

LOL how funny! Kinda reminds me of how my cairn terrier plays soccer! XD

[changez07]

DAMN. these cats are gonna become weak due to them being caged

[BigCatRescue]

@changez07 That's not correct?

[changez07]

@BigCatRescue ??? are you asking me or what? they will become weak become they do not have to hunt for their own food which means less exercise for them. they will actually become overweight and weak

[BigCatRescue]

@changez07 No, I was a little confused, a 500lb tiger in captivity is still a 500lb tiger and I wouldn't call it weak :) Correct they may be in worse shape than tigers in the wild who roam large amounts of land etc... but they'll always be very strong.

[africanlionbeast21]

nikita is a pro soccer player

[Glinstersteen]

This is so much fun to watch ;;))...Tigers are my absolute favorite animals *heart* !!! It's amazing to see them "fool around"with a watermelon....smile..Thanxx, greetz deborax

[weaponsmaster121]

its an easter egg hunt 4 lions and tigers

[BELEAVEINGREEN]

awwwwww simba looks soo adorable! u must have so much fun taking care of them

[tordlover101808]

NO NOT THE WATERMELON!

[gabrielpedroso92]

1:54 i thought he would step on it an break it like a str8 boss

[rixymisterio]

Simba is supposed to be lion :p but nevermind :D THEY'RE ALL COOL

[Gothkitty185]

[BigCatRescue]

@minerfamilyrules No, we don't have any cheetahs at the sanctuary.

[XxViper142000]

TJ: Oh! Watermelon! -Tries to eat and slips- Dammit! Comeback! -Splash splash splash- >:F Fuck you!!!

[sesshomaru880]

dude do you guys have interships

[BigCatRescue]

@sesshomaru880 Yep, please visit our website: BigCatRescue*org for more info

[derekandkeyasha01]

It's funny how the adult humans are carrying these watermelons with both hands, while the tigers are carrying them with their jaws! Tigers and lions amaze me. I love them wish I could hold their BIG paws!! So cute.....

[bradsolid]

how large is the habitat you have for those animals?

[BigCatRescue]

@bradsolid For lions and tigers they range from 1200 sq ft to 3 acres in size :)

[iamnotamouseok]

0:24 what is that hanging off the lions neck. it looks like a clump of hair

[BigCatRescue]

@iamnotamouseok It was matted fur, a few days after we filmed this I found it in the enclosure and it's now nailed to my wall! :)

[lk10xxxxxx]

god i love tigers. there just so intresting so dangerous but beautiful at the same time,they represent the ideal of the wild almost perfectly. it is terrible that they are hunted. these creatures are just so amazing in my eyes

[ArchangelDrake]

That weird bald cat at 2:17 is my favorite.

[TheTunerida]

wow amazing, i actually think they believe watermelon has meat inside! well since its red inside too!

[MsSadiem]

that tiger destroyed that watermelon

[Tirane28]

Nikita playing soccer :P

[StallioN0of0MeadoW]

they can be so cute and yet so dangerous at the same time... god I love watermelons.

[NorthsideBill]

2:48 when that tiger charged the camera my heart fluttered. I bet whoever was holding that camera pooped a little :)

[DynomiteKid65]

I love the lions roar and i love the tigers magnificent stripes of black lightning and their growl

[sammygod2]

they are soooo cute! If i could have a tiger for a pet, i totally would.

[BigCatRescue]

@sammygod2 These cats never make good "pets", they will always have their wild instincts and will always be very dangerous

[schnellfingerjoe]

@sammygod2 If the lion could eat you, it totally would

[TheInvaderzimperson]

i love big cats i just wanna pet and play with them but they could hurt me and others trying to save me

if people try to save me

[TheInvaderzimperson]

I LOVE BIG CATS THEY R SO AWESOME!!!!!! I would love to become apart of a big cat rescue.

[jtdmrd]

9 people don't like watermelons

[TheJzai]

why name a tiger simba? be better for a lion

[BigCatRescue]

@TheJzai You're right! We have a Simba leopard and Simba tiger, we don't name the cats, they keep the names they have when we rescue them, good or bad :)

[likitty20]

when ever they get the watermelons they get angry at you, i guess they think you're gonna steal the watermelons

[thejesusfreak1222]

WOW!!! ALEX JUST TORE THAT THING APART!!!! They are just BEAUTIFUL tigers and lions!! :)

[ahowell07]

Do they eat any other kind of fruit?

[BigCatRescue]

@ahowell07 They don't really eat this stuff just taste test it and have fun destroying it! They also LOOOOVE pumpkins and some like pineapples! :)

[MrLiliam14]

@BigCatRescue i wud love to come help out as a voulenteer but im only 14 nd live in australia

[BigCatRescue]

@MrLiliam14 You can take part in our internship program once you are 18 years old :)

[DaniDiamondz]

LOOOOOOVED this! :)

[kathrynk007]

Could you guys at BCR tell these cats apart? I have 2 housecats (they were feral) that look exactly the same and only I and my BF can tell them apart. :)

[BigCatRescue]

@kathrynk007 Yes, I've worked here for 3 years and can tell them apart :)

[CyphenPhsyX]

Id love to hug one! Sadly I wouldn't remember it after ^^

[shade789123]

i like china doll

[jamesseddo]

alex is my faviroute tiger

[runningwebkinzflute]

WHATS THAT THING HANGING OFF ONE OF THE LIONS?

[BigCatRescue]

@runningwebkinzflute Just matted fur, it fell off a few days after we shot this video and I have it pinned to my wall :)

[cdemanelis]

I wonder if my house cats would like watermelon... Never crossed my mind to offer. Hmmmm...

[faeliie]

How large are the cages they're kept in? 

[BigCatRescue]

@faeliie Tiger cages sizes range form 1200 sqft to 3 acres :)

[hinklie15]

Will you ever name a cat Mufasa?

[BigCatRescue]

@hinklie15 The cats keep the names they have when we rescue them :)

[labrador326]

Please watch the video on my channel. Its to save all species of tigers from becoming extinct. Its a petition and if we get 500,000 signatures then it will be up for debate in the government. It would mean so much for my friend who started it up and something needs to be done about it.

Thanks =)

[17animallove]

who is you biggest cat my guess whould be Kahn or Cameron

[BigCatRescue]

@17animallove Shere Khan is the largest cat at BCR (over 700lbs!!)

[C4RL0Z479]

I bet they think the watermelons are someones head .... :) These are fascinating animals.

[KjWa13]

[DarkSnowLeopard]

I love Josephs facial expressions! They're halarious!

[retardedscarded]

nikita has some really good soccer dribbling skills look at her go! sir alex ferguson needs to call her up

[JESUSROCKS921]

[koga000ify]

[Povidius]

I kept imagining that the watermelon was my head.

[ivesour]

do the water melons have seeds?lol and ddoes is anoyying to them?

[BigCatRescue]

@ivesour Yep, they have seeds, the cats don't really eat the watermelon, they just have fun destroying them !!

[wwwotherguy]

Poor watermelons. No one is there to speak for them!

[TheGreenGhost100]

2:17= ronaldo of brazil lol

[dsrmams]

seems like that lion has a dread on its mane on 0:24 haha

[ezwholio]

0:38 sec, can they jump over the fence?

[BigCatRescue]

@ezwholio No, it's way to high and if they tried to climb it the fence has several hotwires that would give them an electric shock

[thefabulousone123]

it suprises me how much the big cats act like housecats!

[oqal]

I can Take Down a Lion easily

[BigCatRescue]

@oqal Can I film your attempt!?? :)

[youtabeer]

@oqal

Do it without weapons.

[alexisdeshaeross]

@oqal yeah, you be the jackass and try to take down a 1,000 pound lion with teeth and claws. I'll be at your funeral laughing my ass off and I'll say,"that's what you get dumbass." alexisdeshaeross

[ItachiGT]

[greekLAR]

Very nice football (soccer) moves by Nikita at 1:19

[dgrushetskiy816]

Your fruit killing skills are remarkable.

[YTinjustice]

[kathrynk007]

@YTinjustice Hey, I think they're awesome creatures too.....but the last thing I'd do is have any part of my body near any of them. Don't their teeth and claws tell the story? LOL

[ComputerIlliterit]

The Tiger Alex @3:14 is just going "Hey this isn't meat!" Haha! Beautiful.

[tseegi5]

tiger named Simba! lol

[TrueLaStudent]

The tigers learn that watermelons are like people; they both have tasty insides.

[enomismarie]

9 people are animal abusers..

[BellaDanceswithJack]

I love how they have their cute moments where they don't look so "RAWR" <3

[TilaMartina69]

bobing for watermelons !

[IPlayBoiiz]

[BigCatRescue]

@IPlayBoiiz We keep the names of the cats they are rescued with. we have a tiger named Simba and also a leopard but no lion!

[Suisei]

@BigCatRescue

Do they like fruit? :3

[BigCatRescue]

@Suisei They would play with it, but they don't eat fruit :)

[NoLifeSketh]

Lion: MINE My water mellow! GET AWAY! Ill bite you,you know i will!!

[Daghead]

Wow, awesome bite!

[TheVriezenveen]

i have a question. Its in my head for a long time. But they always told me that the bengal tigers are bigger than the siberian tigers? Is this true or not?

[BigCatRescue]

@TheVriezenveen The siberian tiger is the largest sub species of tiger :)

[TheVriezenveen]

@BigCatRescue okay, thank you! now i know! :)

[croburke]

@BigCatRescue i heard that the puma is the lair and tricker of the big cat family and the lion a god pet i need help to focus on the puma really like is it calm nice doest jump around and dose the lion think its all pride even know it doesn't hunt?

[BigCatRescue]

@croburke No big cats ever make good "pets" They are all cunning and dangerous.

[75LEONidAs75]

The vision of the unfortunate pieces from that "killed" watermelon being taken by the water uggggh..., makes you happy 4 not 2 be that ousted melon or in the middle of their cat-enclosure nor ^^

Sure that melon thought that big kitty cat was cute 2 pet BUT forgot that that cute playful kitt was also a WILD ONE ^^ ^^ ^^

[unknownnarutofan]

did they name the lion after the show nikita

[BigCatRescue]

@unknownnarutofan No we don't get to name any of our cats. the name they have when we rescue them is what they keep :)

[messymelon39]

[BigCatRescue]

@messymelon39 Yep, all our tigers are bengal/siberian tigers

[EeveelutionStorm]

[5527020677]
