Cute Tiger Bites my Hand !

The best bit is at 0:55. See those eyes when he comes to maul my meat!
The safari park now has a KZbin channel have a look --
/ @safariak
While at the zoo today, a tiger bit my hand, or at least my watch. The strap broke. There was a bit of hand scratching too and you can see the marks. They are a lot stronger than kittens.
The tiger was born on June 24th 2009, so the tiger was about 3 months old.
The map location, for the zoo "Safari Lando", is precise. But I don't know how KZbin users can access the map location.

A seminar student is interested in the "experience economy" and breaking down "the 4th wall". Very important in my view, especially in Japan where (apart from zoos) there is a tendency to have a very strong 4th wall, and to expect that visitors just watch rather than participate. But Japanese zoos seem to be into breaking down the 4th wall and letting the visitors participate.
I am too old for zoos. But when I can play with a tiger like this, then even I am into zoos. It was fun. Tigers are cats, and cute, and soft bellied but their hands are are bigger and their bite, has potential.
As of September 2022, 13 years from shooting this video, only one of the three tigers shown is still alive and I am not sure which one. Her name is Tsuki. She is healthy and she has been having cubs of her own since 2020.
I don't know how the other two died. Tigers in captivity live to be 20 or so. But perhaps the males fight each other in the safari.
This super zoo is about one hour's drive from Yamaguchi City.

[@nihonbunka]

+Denine Mishoe I think I know what happens to this cubs. In six months time the were reintroduced into the safari park where they hang out with their peers until they are old. But perhaps this park kills its phogey tigers? I am not sure why you think so. I have no evidence to support, or refute that suggestion. My guess is that they are fed, protected and given a good life at least until they become medically expensive. A lot of pets fair the same way. They are pets of a sort.

[@dmissu2]

No, and that right there is were humans get it wrong. These are not pets, will never truly be pets. They are WILD ANIMALS and even if a cub is raised in captivity all it's life and even love's its owner, if given the chance that WILD ANIMALS will take their head off - kill them. That is not a pet. My kitty scratches the shit out of my arms when we play, but I don't worry that if I turn my back it would pounce on me and go for a death kill - that is the difference between a pet and a wild animal. There are all kinds of documentation about owners getting killed by their "pets". Even famous people, like the 2 guys that owned all those tigers & lions for years - then one attached him. I say it was justice, but they probably killed the poor cat. Just for doing what comes naturally - fucked up humanity. We don't even put down physo murders & rapists - they get a few years in jail and have the chance to one day have freedom again - that's messed up. I challenge you to really "investigate" this 'safari park' that you so proudly defend. I mean, really go behind the scenes, without the owners & keepers awareness - I think you might be very surprised as to what you find. Start by just doing a history search on google of the facility - see what's in their closets. Or maybe even offer to volunteer there. Just a few days should really tell you all you need to know.

TY for enduring all of this pretty painful looking scratches for this 3 minutes of cuteness :)

[@nihonbunka]

The cuteness was so great I did not feel a thing, till afterwards.

[@nihonbunka]

They really did seem quite happy, sleepy, playful...like domestic kittens. They and their grandparents were born in captivity.

[@viewsfromqueensland3560]

The cubs used for petting exhibits are torn from their mothers shortly after birth, causing emotional pain to both the cubs and the mothers. Imagine what that mother tiger experiences after enduring the long pregnancy and finally giving birth, filled with the instincts to nurture her cubs, and then having them snatched away. The breeders take them away and have people handle them so the cubs will “imprint” on the people instead of doing what is natural and imprinting on their mothers.

[@nihonbunka]

Yes, it would seem to result in pain to the mother and cubs. I thought perhaps that the tigers were put with their mothers at night but I don't believe that to be the case since six months later was an event announcing the return of the cubs to the safari park and their mothers. It may be the case that if you leave tiger cubs in the safari park, the male tigers have a tendency to kill the cubs so that the mothers stop lactating and go on heat. The tiger cubs were reintroduced to the safari park and their mothers when they were 8 months old.

[@bloodymarryvideos5392]

Views from Queensland yes really

[@davidbarnwell_virtual_clas6729]

I think those cubs are way too close to members of the public.

[@Simoovski]

thanks for this vid , you let the tiger damage your watch aiming to not stopping him , what a personality ^^

[@nihonbunka]

The cubs did seem happy. I am not a cub and I don't know what a happy cub looks like but they were small, pretty sleepy, able to sleep with each other, able to sleep with their mother out of park hours, and seemed to enjoy the attention, or at least mauling my hand.

[@nihonbunka]

Sorry no. They were not able to sleep with their mother. I am told that they were removed from the safari since adult male tigers have a tendency to kill tiger cubs.

[@samreads]

My cats used to do this... i think it's the smell of the leather strap that they find irresistable

It said do not let the cubs bite you. Despite the somewhat misleading title of the video - artistic licence? - the cub only bit my watch. There was no sign saying do not touch the cubs, and the zoo keepers saw me doing this.

[@richardbeckenbaugh1805]

In Seattle nearly forty years ago, I worked for several different temporary services. I got sent to a circus that had come to town . I was told I was replacing the previous temp. The circus maintenance guy told me I would be sweeping up around the cages. He said he would have to give me a safety orientation. There were fresh red lines around some of the enclosures. I was told not to cross the red lines. It seemed like an easy job and I said so. The guy replied that it is unless you wander too close to the tiger cage like the last guy and they eat you. The previous temp had ignored the red lines and gotten grabbed by one of the tigers. It had ripped off both his arms while he was still alive and then decapitated him. I made sure to stay well outside the lines while I worked there.

[@KatotownUSA]

Lots of unwarranted hate here. This guy clearly respects these animals if you'd read his replies before spewing hate. Great video dude! Wish I could pet a baby tiger!

[@lovepeacenappiness23]

It should be in the wild. Not at a park.

[@nihonbunka]

[@KatotownUSA]

thrilled2beBAD I'm an idealist as well. But I'm also a realist. These animals are killed by poachers in droves. He's safe. We should all be in beach bungalows but life ain't fair. At least it's safe.

I have no problems with zoo's. I think that the job of preservation that they are doing is great. What makes me mad as fuck tho, is looking at that pathetic excuse for a pen. What is that? Concrete goddam floor?! Put some effort into it at least.

[@sirenastarlight]

EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS! Good on ya.

[@Videogeek95]

It might only be a petting pen... You know... Just a make shift area for guests to be allowed to get closer to the cubs within a controlled environment... I don't really think this is their actual home...

[@nihonbunka]

Videogeek95 Nor me.

[@nihonbunka]

I guess that the floor was concrete, for ease of cleaning, and for coolness. They seemed to enjoy sleeping on it. It was quite hot. Our dogs often lounge around in the concrete area of our house (the genkan) for similar reasons. Did not appear to want to run around at this time of day. I am not sure where they were kept at other times but six months later they were returned to the large (many acres) safari area of the park which is in part funded by the petting zoo.

[@maddyx3711]

Those poor tigers confined in those puny ass shitty cages.....

[@nihonbunka]

+RockY x They are baby tigers that seemed to enjoy being where they were in this cage. (or at least far more than being in the nature reserve where, I read, peers of their mother are likely to kill them to get their mother to stop lactating, so that they can hump the mother, I think). They lack their mother's attention but the do not get eaten. They gain human attention which, by the looks of this critter in my video, they enjoy to an extent.

[@nihonbunka]

If you have any evidence other than how they appeared, please share.

[@nihonbunka]

Burden of proof? This is KZbin, not a court. These tiger cubs were born in captivity in Japan.There are less than 4000 wild tigers in the world, most in India. These cubs did not have the choice of being born in India but theit quality of life seemed, to me, to be better than non-existance. If you think that the tiger cubs were unhappy then I'd be interested in what it was in their appearance, or in the nature of tigers, that made you think so. There is no burden upon you or anyone to comment but as I say, I'd be interested if you have anything to say.

[@WillChizzleMyNizzle]

aw crap, now it has a taste for human flesh...

[@nihonbunka]

For reasons unknown I am not given a reply link for Rohan Saxena' comment. Don't be unhappy. The tiger cubs appeared happy. They were separated from their mother so that they were not eaten by their mother's peers.

Tiger eats human alive Everyone : Awww so cute

[@kaylahmartinez4370]

It should be with it's mother and father poor baby.

[@nihonbunka]

As I keep saying, it is not as simple as that. In the world of humans it is good, I believe, for infants to be with their parents. But in the world of tigers, I am told that baby tigers are often eaten by the peers of their mothers, since the peers of their mothers want the mothers to stop; lactating, breast feeding, and come back on heat so that the male peers can have sex. So all this sympathy for the poor orphan baby tigers may be displaced. They are removed from their parental safari for their own good.If they were left there they would have a good chance of being eaten. So no, in my humble opinion, you are anthropomorphising the sitauation. It, the tiger cub should not be with its mother and father and it is not a poor baby. However, also, as I have written before, this sympathy for tiger cubs is not misplaced in so far as it is an expression of sympathy for babies in general and Western human babies in particular. In the Western world (but not in the East Asian world) babies are removed from their mothers and made to sleep on their own. This practice is tremendously traumatic for children and may result in agressive adults. The reason for the separation is however extremely similar. Western human babies are removed from their parental bed so that Western males can have sex. And the result is extremely traumatic, all the more becuuse human babies can and do contemplate their seperation and the counterfactuals ("I could be in bed with mum and dad") far better than tiger cubs (who may not even be aware that they have a mum and dad). So all the bewailing of the situation of these tiger cubs is perhaps a subconscious protest against the far more serious torture of Western babies that takes places on a massive scale. Billions of Wesetern human babies are being made to sleep on their own for the sake of sex.
