  • Filmed at the Baton Rouge Zoo on April 20, 2010. My son and I had been sitting on a bench about 15 feet away from the glass wall for about 10 minutes while we ate our lunch and chatted. This Sumatran tiger had been watching us from behind the log. Then it sat up. I pulled out the camera, and this is what happened.

      I know its also playing and that they do this to each other loved ones so their mother or siblings to play and act and learn hunting on themselves but there are also videos where they jump on that glass and are disappointed somehow or didnt think that there is glass and that is somehow weird imo

      @@SPG063 I think it's simply a case of having a less developed form of cognition. They probably don't have the capacity to fully understand how glass works..
      For example, few animals have the capacity to recognise their own reflection, they may well have better memories than ours, but they cannot comprehend what a reflection is and will therefore always think the reflection is another creature.

    Thank you for this video. It was fascinating watching how she was slowly taking each step not losing eye contact with her "prey". I am not positive whether it is the tiger or not but one of the big cats in the wild sort of hypnotizes its prey before they strike. If it is the tiger, I just saw her in action. Mom did a great job keeping her little one from not becoming too freaked out by remaining calm.🐯.
