  • i love cameron and zabu! i wanna hug them (>^.^)> but i guess they'd reap me to shreds if i tryed doing that.

  • I love how Zabu hops right into the water (which we all know tigers love to do!) and Cameron dabs it and shakes off his paw! :D

  • Huevos.

  • awwww he plays like my cat dose

  • He acts just like my cat haha... but just bigger

  • Cameron's all "Ooh, it rolls and there's a prize inside!" I don't expect they can have beach balls because they'll get sick if they break it & eat it. But watching them play is so cool.

  • I love the way that the big bad lion dipped his toe in the water..the tiger just does a swan dive

  • do tigers only have the pool

  • @spycher127 mostly tigers, Joseph and Sasha (lions) also have a pool and the three cougars Ares, Artemis and Orion, they like to get in the water every now and then. But tigers love their pools!

  • That's a strawberry!

  • 1 easter egg dislikes this video

  • which leopard is being shown 2:05, 2:08 talk about silly/goofy!

  • @dktillie 2:05 was Sundari, 2:08 was Jade, they're both very goofy and playful :)

  • 1st dislike, WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  • Whene the tiger squished it he was all like did i brake it ? What ever!

  • Looks more like a strawberry than an egg.

  • *snowtiger

  • Wow, these cats are really adorable. Too bad petting one would have me end up in a hospital right away haha. Im really glad people like you guys at Big Cat rescue help these kinds of animals

  • @Dyrva

    me too, there are amazing 

  • pool party!

  • and the tiger wins!

  • 1:27 Zabu: HEYHEYHEY! My pool.... my pool... -3-

  • They remind me so much of my own cats! So cute!!

  • huh? how come the lion is bigger then the tiger?

    isn't that tiger meant to be bigger then the lion?!

    please reply

  • @peachxjamie There's not much difference between the two when it comes to weight, Cameron the male lion just has that massive mane that makes him look much larger!

  • @BigCatRescue Is Zabu the white Tiger a female? And was the Tiger at 2:03 a Bengal/Siberian mix named Shere Khan?

  • @KiwizNz4lyfe Yes Zabu is a female white tiger, the tiger splashing in the pool was TJ :)

  • Too funny! Can't wait to visit!

  • you guys are drugging your cats!

  • @hygdreyer catnip isnt drugging the cats

  • @Silvawolf100

    A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function

  • 1:33 She's totally chillin' in her 'hot tub' :P

  • Eww. Killt it.

  • I love that...The Tiger jumps in the water head first, laughing and splashing the whole time. The Lion comes up to the edge of the pool, dabs the water with his pinky to be sure it isnt to wet. Both seemed to like the big ole egg about the same

  • I Want A giant Egg :(

  • This is soooo amazing! You guys rock!

  • I wonder if they were trying to pray it open to find find inside or just wanted to play with it

  • so cute i wish i had a tiger :p

  • Its like a "Golden Egg" in Angry birds (;

  • The kitties obviously do not like all that trash in their pool.

  • i love Zabu and Cameron there so beautiful and funny :3

  • Don't worry if there's anything that looks wrong at BCR they know what there doing

  • Isn't it bad to give wild cats catnip? My house hold cats get aggressive over it, doesn't it sometimes cause fights?

  • @MapleStoryPQ Nope, it's fine, if we do have more than one cat in the enclosure they get their own catnip and don't fight :)

  • I know that the big cats are dangerous and could kill you in an instant, but when they play or get ahold of catnip they play like little house cats lol

  • yuck dirty pond water

  • It's amazing how high cats can jump, even big cats.

  • Whats the trash in the big water pond? Cant the tigers accidentally eat it and choke?? It just dont look too clean!!!

  • @PixieDust0421 The "trash" was the paper mache easter egg filled with grass and catnip, the cats don't eat it and we cleaned the pool the following day :)

  • Do big cats like catnip too?

  • @plumeria66 yes, but not all big cats, i just can't remember the exceptions.

  • @plumeria66 Yes, you can watch our video...

  • It's wonderful to see Zabu happily frolicking about compared to where she was before, imprisoned and sad.

  • Where is BCR located? I hope your staff & all the cats were safe during the tornado outbreak last week!

  • @tjk200081 Tampa, Florida, we didn't get any bad weather :)

  • @BigCatRescue Oh good! That's good to here! Now that I know where you are, I will visit, if ever get down to Florida. :-)

  • GOTTA LOVE THE BIG CATS

  • @BigCatRescue did you guys take videos of the other cats playing with the eggs? if so I bet we would all love to see them!

  • such happy kitties...:) you guys do a great job.

  • Tiger is so cute. Looks like a BIG house cat. 

  • How are the ferels doing that u recently saved from that horrible life.

  • This question is very off the topic of easter XD but, how do you "make the habitats? I guess the question is more about the plant life, do you plant certain plants? or just build the cages around whats already there?

  • @AkiranoYoru49 It's a bit of both, any substantial trees etc... we work with these provide great shade and help to reinforce the enclosures at the top and anchor them too, then we transplant any other plants/trees from around the property.

  • i love watching these beautiful creatures!

  • I want a giant stuffed animal white tiger now.

  • Have you ever considered putting occasional, live fish in those pools? Or would that be considered unsanitary/inhumane, or somehow interfere with their diet?

  • I really liked this video

    Cameron is awesome I look forward to more of him

  • Im really glad that you guys take time to do little things like these. Since they do live in caged areas, even being so big, its good you give them this little things to stimulate their minds. :)

  • many thanxxx for sharing this wonderful videos*****

  • 1:42 Zabu to Cameron: "Bwaaahahahahahahahh! ^^"

    Yeah, they are deadly, but that was a moment of cuuuute!

  • the tiger is jumping all around in the water, and then the lion sniffs it and puts his paw in and yanks it back

  • That is truly beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing the video of Zabu and Cameron playing with the catnip egg!! :)

  • lol, aww

    

  • they may be cute but they are deadly!

  • Can't beat catnip ;) Always guaranteed amusement.

  • @StinkyWater28 Cam and Zabu were raised together at a roadside zoo we rescued them from, if you tried to introduce two mature cats they would fight.

  • @MyDarkRaven202 Zabu is a female white tiger, BCR doesn't agree with the breeding of white tigers as this involves inbreeding and negatively impacts the health of the animals. We rescued Cameron the lion and Zabu the white tiger from a roadside zoo in New England that closed down, since their rescue they have both been fixed to prevent any cubs from being born and continue to enjoy living together :)

  • WE HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO TIGERS this gorgeous, lions, leopards, QUEPARDOS ALL CATS IN SECURITY! TODAY IN RESERVES are hunted! AS A TROPHY? THAT TROPHY FOR A HUNTER? NEARLY EXTINCT WHITE TIGER! HOW MUCH MORE FOR MORE TERMS NOT a big cat? LITTLE, TOO LITTLE TIME!

    YOU DO A WONDERFUL JOB! CONGRATULATIONS!

    HUGS,

    ROSANGELA D'ORO

  • I didn't know big cats liked catnip too. Also didn't know tigers and lions would get along together.

  • What a great video! Great enrichment for the animals! They are such beautiful animals :)

  • I love how you guys are always giving the cats "gifts"! <3

  • Is Cameron a Barbary Lion?

  • @MichaelClive No, he's got a very impressive mane but he's and African Lion :)

  • Awesome! They're so cool!

  • Cameron is mad at Zabu for having so much fun without sharing with him. He didn't even want to respond to her while Zabu kept apologizing to him.

  • Its just like my kitty... except this cat could decapitate me in one swipe :D Awwww

  • is it true that white tigers are going to be extinct soon?? D: they are on the endangered list!!! D:

  • @twilightxd White tigers never exist in the wild. If you search an old video done by BCR regarding the origin of white tigers, you know that white tigers are in fact created by inbreeding between two related bengal tigers. They are not supposed to exist, but humans make them like the zoos to attract visitors.

  • @AdvertChild98 Really!!!! OMG i never knew that...i'll look it up O:

  • nice enrichment! and entertaining for us! :D

  • They're so beautiful together.

  • Loved this! Zabu is so beautiful! Thank you guys for posting videos and taking care of these amazing creatures! Love that you do special holiday things! Happy Easter!

  • i love how you guys do this for them! Christmas, Easter, it is almost like the cats are part of your family :) <3

  • Wow, exactly how high can a tiger jump?? Watching Zabu jumped up to the stair is like a piece of cake for her.

    Why don't you prepare two eggs, one for Zabue and another one for Cameron?

  • @AdvertChild98 There's lots of debate about this but they can jump at least 12ft, we just didn't have the time to make two, we were trying to get Cameron on the platforms at the beginning but no luck, he got a handful of cinnamon (his favorite) to roll around in :)

  • I always open my Easter eggs with my teeth too...

  • Awesome.

  • the easter egg stands no chance ^^

  • They don't actually eat that cardboard do they? I hope you folks fish all of that stuff out of the water. :)

  • @PhantomDrums917 No they just taste test and yes we had "fun" cleaning the pool the next day :)

  • @PhantomDrums917 burn in hell

  • @HaulinHearse Burn in hell for asking a simple question?? Boy you've got some issues.

  • cameron is heavy , big and strong , but joseph the other male lion look more agresive , much more , why?

  • thats why i favor tigers over lions which is my favorite after tigers they like water XD

  • tigers love cat nip ?!

  • @sakon44 Yep, most of the cats love catnip, watch our video! :)

  • @BigCatRescue haha

  • This is so cuuuute ;P

    Happy Easter, fellas!

    rawr!

  • I wish you a very HAPPY EASTER !!!

    <3

  • Those are very nice cats and you take great care of them!

  • It's like they changed back into kittens! So cute >.<

  • poor egg it got wet XD

  • Very awesome! 

  • O M G i love this VIDEO thnks alot fr SHARING....

  • The big cat rescue - the only organization I support. Close the ZOOs!

  • They are sooo cute! I love your vid's!

  • lol its like a normal cat but then bigger and behind cages

  • Ha ha...Cameron and water. :D

  • so cute! rescued animals seem to be generally more docile and sincerely content with their lives. it's like they know they are being helped and loved

  • The last shot with Zabu licking Cameron reminds me so much of my own two cats.

    : )

  • I like how the big scary lion dips his paw in the water and immediately regrets it.

  • Just protested the nasty Jordan World Circus tonight in Helena MT. They have 9 poor tigers living their lives in semi trailers. Seeing this video of what their lives could be like mad me sad - but happy for those at Big Cat.

  • Here I thought Cameron didn't care much for catnip! XD

  • @Ido013 There was cinnamon in the egg too and he loves cinnamon! :)

  • he wrecked his stash by getting it wet

  • awwww <3<3<3

  • Cameron and Zabu is such a couple! Both of them like each other very much despite they are different specie.

  • Zabu is so playful and cute! Are you sure that Zabu is a girl not a boy? ^^

  • Oh this is delicious!! I've seen these two on visits!! How they love each other!! And as for Easter,both Big Cats had a great time. Tiger and lion "Style" "Water "play" is very different! I love your sanctuary!!!!

  • awesome video... for sure when i get a job ima donate alittle for you guys and visit!

  • Kinda looks like a giant strawberry. Zabu is so cute and I love the way Cameron tests the water with his paw just like a domestic house cat would. Cats are awesome.

  • I WANT TO GIVE ZABU A BIG HUG

  • @JewTube001 Don't try it, JewTube, he might hug you right back...

  • I want to someday own a huge sanctuary like this. Its horrible what people do to these animals but i have a huge love for cats and to watch these guys play and run is amazing

  • that is so super cute i loved it :D

  • At first she looks so disappointed when it falls apart in the water, but then she becomes totally pleased with herself when she realizes she can take a catnip bath LOL

  • Thats love when one washes the other, awwwee :-)

    Beautiful video, thanks for sharing with us.

    Much love to all the cats, Meeoooww to Cameron (^ ^)

  • That´s the right way to celebrate Easter! :-)

  • It's interesting seeing the difference in behavior between a prey animal and a predator. If I put a big, paper mache, Easter egg in my horses' pasture, I promise you it would take awhile before they were comfortable enough to knocked it around!

  • @pmarie2003 A very interesting and accurate observation.

  • wow that lion was beautiful and playful

  • I think you guys should have cheetahs in BCR!

  • Haha, big cats act like little ones with catnip! I LOVE IT.

  • This totally made my day. <3

  • No one has ever disliked this because they haven't had a catnip egg before.

  • cameron is adorable!! (lions are my favorite animal) i love his reaction to water he looks like a giant kitten!!!!! 1:48 giant kitty!!!

  • how did you make the eggs?

  • @MsMamaSitta We used an exercise ball with a cardboard cone on top to use as the base underneath the paper mache then let the ball down once the paper mache had hardened and filled the egg with catnip, long grass and cinnamon :)

  • awwww. how cute. Cameron was sooo cute.. big ol' strong lion afraid of water!!!

  • That is one happy kitty :D

  • Cute!

  • Excellent.. I love watching these creative ways you stimulate the cats!! 

  • i sooooooooooo wanted to be that EGG! :) happy easter guys!

  • Awesome!

  • Zabu: Yay, egg! *plays*

    Cameron: Hey, I wanted to play with the egg!

    Cameron: *dips his paw in the water* Awww, it's all gone...

    Zabu: *grooms Cameron* I'm sorry I beat up our egg...

  • 0:29 LOL BUTTHOLE

  • @lvsoad22 LOLOLOL!!11!!1

    Seriously? -_-

  • Its so funny seeing how these big cats play with toys just like a house cat would lol

  • That was so egg-siting .

    I love watching the big cats enjoying these wonderful gifts.

    Keep up the good work BCR.

    Purrr...

    ^_^

  • did you know that dogs react to an herb called anise the same way cats react to catnip. anise is also used to flavor licorice.

    hahahhaha catnip. good stuff

  • @theonlyzdog Yep, maybe we should try it on big cat enrichment see what they think to it??

  • awsome I didn't know tigers liked being in water. what does cat nip do to cats physically?

  • @eminence18

    There is a chemical in it that is believed to be similar to a cat sex hormone. it affects both genders and does not affect all cats. Some cats are not effected by it, its kind of a genetic thing.

    And yes tigers are the only large cat that enjoy water. Seeing as they live in hot, humid, tropical climates, they would get rained on anyways. It helps them cool off. There are some types of smaller wild cats that swim as well.

  • @theonlyzdog Good info! Jaguars and fishing cats are other species that love the water :)

  • silly kitty

  • Yay! Cameron and Zabu are the best!

  • HEY LOOK HES IN A POOL SMOKING CATNIP

  • don't forget passover. Some of your big cats may be jewish!

  • Gosh I wanna snuggel with dat white Tigress so bad!

  • where is your zoo located

  • @TerryMMA85 Big Cat Rescue is a sanctuary, we are located in Tampa Florida :)

  • @BigCatRescue shame other side of the world then.i like what you do.how our you for money do you get by ok

  • Catnip cocktail. Aww

  • I love how tentatively Cam pokes the remains of the egg before deciding just to drink the water.

  • I love how Zabu just dives into the water and splashes about. Then theres Cameron who delicately dips his paw in and shakes it off. I love it!
