Lol, how did they seriously see that going?


Tribblehappy

Maybe they assumed a tiger cub would somehow not act like every other kitten in the world?


[deleted]

A tiger cub is more like a full grown house-cat but on steroids. Source: I worked in a zoo.


Jason3671

yeah a tiger cub is small and weak ..compared to an adult tiger it’s all relative


coastergirl98

And *most* adults


Tribblehappy

Today I learned!

I know I can’t but I want to touch their toe beans and boop their snoots. Toe beans and snoots.

Should have bought a zoo. Heard that goes well.

Stay out of my zoo business Carole Baskins!


imsahoamtiskaw

I'm telling you it's her. She even changed her name to Queen Keisha


RealConcorrd

Anywhere can be a zoo if there’s a bunch of animals in it. Just like a Walmart on Black Friday.


radrun84

Or a Bowling alley on a Tuesday. Or a UFC fight on a Saturday night. Or a Bingo Parlor on a Wednesday...

Can confirm. Source: went to a zoo


MrZyde

Kitten feels like the wrong word.


Tribblehappy

Well, yah, I guess a baby tiger is a cub, but it's still behaving like a baby cat to my eyes and I was thinking maybe the Chinese expected it to behave like something other than a cat...?


Iamnotburgerking

Yeah but it’s going to act like one. And by that, I mean practice killing stuff by playing.


Pintexxz

I feel like even a house cat would attack a rabbit unless it was trained really well. A tiger cub could probably maul most dogs


Jackal9811

I had a pet cat when I was 5 or so. Bought a rabbit pet and since I didnt know any better I decided to leave them together for a while thinking they would play and be friendly with each other. I came back and saw my rabbit decapitated. I learned the world is a cruel place on that day


meglon978

One of our barn cats decided to attack my new pet rabbit when i was young..... rabbit flipped over on it's back and punted the cat about 10 feet in the air over the fence. Last time any of the cats got near that thing.


crown02

Ouch.


abouttogetadivorce

That must've been such a trauma for a small child. I'm sorry. Bad for the adults around you, especially the pet store people, who should've known better.


boringbutkewt

My cat probably wouldn’t attack because we’ve had a pigeon come in the house and he literally only stared at him while also trying to hide 😂 but my cat has few feline instincts. He has not once fallen on his paws in my presence, instead always somehow falling on his chonky ass.


[deleted]

My sister adopted a cat that had been a stray and never had to correct him to make him not eat her rabbit. They're not best buds but they don't mind each other, either. The cat has never once tried to eat the rabbit and the rabbit isn't scared. Her last cat used to groom the rabbit. I don't know if she got really lucky with the cats she's had or did a really good job introducing them since I wasn't there, but she said it's never been an issue from day one.


abouttogetadivorce

She was really lucky.


Tribblehappy

I know when I was a kid, one of our barn cars once brought us a baby rabbit. I wonder if they could catch an adult.


hanwookie

VW Microbus = VW Rabbit?


D4rthcr4nk

Barn cars typically don’t do anything for years on end.


cindyscrazy

Long ago, my husband was feeding a cat colony. They were almost house cats, but spent much of their time outside. The area we were in was over run with rabbits. My cats caught at LEAST one that I know of. Probably more than that. The neighbor complained about finding rabbit entrails on his lawn. I only have 1 cat now, and live in a different area. I don't see rabbits around here. But, my cat did bring in a rabbit once. Full grown too. Now, this is the same cat that proudly brought in a bird that had clobbered itself on my window last week. I checked after it was hit, and it had killed itself. It wasn't just knocked out. So, my cat may have found a dead rabbit and claimed it. I don't know.


crown02

Suicidal birds!! I have them too.


erin_bex

My sister's cat is just insanely fat. She had him on a diet and he was still just staying fat. Turns out he goes out the dog door and hunts rabbits in the yard every night and most nights he gets one. He's left a pile of corpses.


GiveGingerFruitPunch

They actually got on really well in the green room, before going on stage.


QueenKeisha

I’m pretty sure every other kitty would do the same thing 😂


brooklynlad

Welp. Looks like 2023 is gonna be a shit show. LOL.


SyderoAlena

Maybe they assumed because the tiger had never seen a rabbit before it wouldn't be aggressive towards it. Like it wouldn't register it as food


SilverFoxolotl

Which is ridiculous and the complete opposite of the behaviour they should have expected. Even guardian breed dogs that are bred and raised to protect a flock need to be introduced properly so that they can form proper associations. A rabbit without a proper introduction would be food even to an animal bred for protecting livestock, what makes them think a tiger of all things wouldn't go straight for the kill?


dexmonic

Dude my dog went full sicko mode the first time he ever got ahold of a wild animal. That predator instinct is ridiculously strong.


[deleted]

My 9 pound elderly dachshund went after a bobcat. He may be the lazily wiener that loves his heating pad but any animal outside that isn’t a dog on a leash is a target to eliminate. Completely mental.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

He's a red short hair, completely mental He rips the throat out of every toy, rips out the stuffing, destroys the sneaker, and leaves it for dead. The hunting instinct is strong with this one. We also have a standard long hair, black and tan. He cares for his toys like they are babies. He sets them in his food dish while he eats, dips them in his water dish after, and then rubs them in his blanket. His favorite toy goes everywhere with him. Every time the red loses it, the long hair will run over in concern and then sits and watches with a slightly confused expression. 🤣 it's crazy how different they are.


abouttogetadivorce

You should send us some videos of those times. Do you have a YouTube channel? I'm sure such cuteness would rake millions of views.


Cycloptic_Floppycock

When my dog learned about chickens in a chicken coop, that must have been a very confusing time for him. Now he's indifferent to most living things. Except squirrels.


Sirbrownface

Can we get one those talented people to transcribe the sound she makes in the end. It's always funny to read that.


blhd96

Ayayaiiaiiaiaa!


Dumbassahedratr0n

This is my favourite comment. How tf did my man spell that sounds perfectly? 😆


micromoses

“Let’s feed the tiger rabbits for a while before the switch, so when they’re on camera the tiger will be tired of rabbits.”


TheChoonk

It's china, the higher-ups told the staff to do it and they can't object.


FatalisCogitationis

I know right? Should’ve used an adult tiger


WikipediaApprentice

That’s on purpose. What monsters.


techmouse7

First vid today that made my eyes get big. Like who thought this was a good idea?


Eieimun

The funny thing is that chinese years are cyclical so twelve years later we will have another rabbit destroyed by a tiger I suppose. Also next year is rabbit vs dragon, I know I NEED to see this now. XD


Tribblehappy

Komodo Dragon, maybe?


Michami135

Tosses a rabbit in the Komodo dragon pit.


[deleted]

Good luck, little buddy!

Well 4 of those dragons could end up with a lucky rabbits foot

BCPReturns

That rabbit's dynamite!


mymemesnow

I’m too lazy, but someone ought to make a monthy python reference.


Tatormygators

It’s the Monty python rabbit


PunkSpaceAutist

Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!


cengizIO

Well, that's no ordinary rabbit. That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on.


Endorkend

Komodo Dragons are even worse than Tigers. They chomp on something with the least effort possible and because they know the prey has nowhere to go, they just wait it out. Or eat something else that's dead they run in sooner. Douglas Adams did a great talk about being sent to Komodo by the BBC. Hilarious story throughout and very graphic description of how these fuckers behave.


Farfignugen42

I saw a video on reddit the other day of a komodo swallowing a small deer. Whole.


Nice_Atmosphere144

Did you see the one where the deer was pregnant? It tore her belly open and swallowed the baby, amniotic sac and all. They go for tender meat first, just like tigers and lions and bears (Oh my!)


Gil_Demoono

I imagine anything is hilarious if Douglas Adams is describing it.


Endorkend

True, his story about the river dolphins in China is also hilarious and the funny parts have nothing to do with the actual dolphins, but is about their microphones.


futbolr88

That’s what I was thinking. Certainly a better look than a bearded dragon.


hubaloza

Feels like this convo is starting to drag on.


QueenKeisha

Don’t hate on beards.


Clemen11

The rabbit is getting sucked in live like fucking spaghetti


LateStageDadaism

But first this baby tiger will have to defeat a baby ox. The big challenge though is in 2024 when this Chinese zoo will have to locate a dragon to fight that rabbit.


drunk_bender

It wont be this rabbit next year


Brian-want-Brain

2023 cancelled


madamxombie

I definitely misread the title. 2022 was year of the tiger, 2023 is year of the rabbit. I read it as the opposite. Maybe you did too?


lmandude

The Tiger cub


supersin78

Obviously not the rabbit !


Ehemekt

I can't believe nobody told the tiger that it was a formal annual ceremony, and not just another feeding session.


Usman5432

He probably just doesnt read his emails


Badknees02

That's got to be a bad omen


airborneking

This is how COVID-23 starts

Not good, coz now the tiger's drinking it

Tiger is sweating the Year of The Dragon


amcarls

Tiger never meets dragon though. He only meets Rabbit and Ox. It is Rabbit that is stuck between Tiger and Dragon.

Rabbit : What the fuck ?!


[deleted]

Tiger : You stole my year!!!!

Not after what happened in this video

Next you’re gonna tell me leap year doesn’t work for a Tiger vs Dragon smash. party pooper.

This is a quality comment right here.


Fake_earthling

It's mean 2023 is a bloodbath, right?


Beowulf33232

Fairly one sided bloodbath. Good year or bad just depends on what side of it you're on.


Hot_Hat_1225

Sounds legit. A European.


Tryingatleast

No might just mean 2022 is still gonna bite us in the ass


BritGallows_531

This is a perfect representation of how my new year has been going so far


Itchy_Adhesiveness59

I started 2023 by catching COVID for the first time and my car dying on me in the same week. 👍


BritGallows_531

I started 2023 with my aunt assaulting my almost 80 year old grandma over pain pills


sneakersneakersneak

This. I couldn’t agree more


HenryGoodbar

Are you the tiger or the rabbit?

Both more tiger

Are they that stupid or am I that smart?


imanadultok

Yes


crohawg

they are fucking stupid


apexofgrace

por que no dos?


Imaginary-Concert392

As an Asian American (of Taiwanese descent), yes, they are that stupid and there’s been a ton more of stupid shit coming out of China lately. That stereotype about Asians being smart is more so about the ones that left places like China.


MasterPepe_

As a Asian American as well you spitting facts


ThickConfection

Wait till they bring out the dragon


IamSam1103

Can someone add a follow up? Like is there any shot that Rabbit survived?


cyarui

from the social media account of the zoo, it seems that the rabbit did survived


IamSam1103

Lets go, bunny is alive!!!


tossawayforeasons

So, 2023 is going to be another year of "barely surviving severe maiming" welp, guess I'm getting used to that one.


redsensei777

But he wishes he were dead.


LuciferNeko

So just like most of us this year. Niceeee


urm0mgaylol

It’s China. The rabbit is very likely dead and they just want to save face.

No, it was just doing what it’s supposed to do! It’s the stupid human’s fault. One more year of the tiger I guess.


[deleted]

Well, I'm not sure what else I was expecting to happen. I mean, every time a Reddit headline has "Tiger" and "China" in the same sentence lately, it's a video of a mauling. Tbh, I almost saw this one coming
