On this clip from the BBC nature collection “Tigers Concerning the Home,” tiger skilled Giles Clark from Australia Zoo introduces two rescued tiger cubs, Spot and Stripe, to their first grown-up huge cat.
The tiger who had the distinction of being the primary grownup that the kids acquired to say hello to was Maneki, a 9-yr-previous feminine who had by no means earlier than seen cubs. Through the assembly, Maneki and the cubs instantly beginning chuffing at one another, which is their approach of claiming hiya. It is also utilized by mom tigers to consolation their cubs, an excellent signal based on Zookeeper Clark that Maneki (and the opposite tigers) will welcome Spot and Stripe once they’re large enough.
As cute as that was, I am a bit apprehensive to study that tigers speak to one another just like the velociraptors from “Jurassic Park.” As in the event that they weren’t already scary sufficient!
