Haha, i lived across the street from this dude. None of us knew he had a tiger. Harlem was lit that week lol

I am Ming
I am Ming's cousin
Tactile Therapy I was the tiger
Most people don't even have enough responsibility to treat a dog, imagine exotic animals.
Not even that, imagine a TIGER
What are most people treating dogs for?
L Rowe were you and your gate ok?
Certain small exotic pets can be way easier than dogs, like certain frogs, the animal themselves can be spendy sometimes though
I can't even take care a cat

HAHAHAAHA
Nice lol
The lion king far from home
Lol
It's a đ tiger not a lion đ
Ming passed away yesterday 10/2/2019... rest in peace Ming i hope you life was well and full fun

really
Thats sad but im sure he had a fun time

Life of Antoine. Itâs like Life of Pi, but in a New York apartment instead of on a small boat.
I immediately thought of that book too :)

Aaron Dill you never played minecraft?
ItsWurbz he is using the word lol
I got a tiger in my pants and Iâm not afraid to use it
They should have made an effort to leave Ming at The Bronx Zoo. He is a definite New Yorker and knows the struggle of living in such a big city.
Lol
Bears cubs!?! He also had BEAR CUBS inside his apartment with the tiger???
He honestly was a very selfish man ,if he really loved then he would go live in the wild with them.even read on them
@Lil Wooo He kidnap the animal and made it live in captivity for his own pleasure . That tiger probably had a family in India. That's not love
@@gatestimonymiracle1302 It was either a zoo or his apartment. And we all know how zoos treat animals.
Bro they chilling tho
@@danodden9783 Lol he didn't treat it any better ,he never let it outside . Imagine being in a tiny apartment all day .That's a jail
Imagine the look on the people helping the elders
"See you goingI told ya there's a tiger
LOL I know right
Shotooo
I worked in a retirement home for a while in college. This part was particularly funny to me. "There's a man outside" or "a tiger across the street" is 9 times out of 10 probably true in some capacity. Senile isn't exactly the same as hallucinating.
Was the Jojo at 6:51
Ok boomer
Bruh imagine if he kept the secret and then had the only living tiger left in the world when everyone thought they were extinct.
Ikr
Dan Odden Imagine if it was a Saber Tooth Cat
@@jokerdagamer333 wat if it was a male game over
Tigers isnt exstinct thoughđ€
rubenaunet
they are endangered species
All things considered, this could have been far worst. Side note, why would people NOT want to hire a guy who can keep a tiger under control for multiple years? Hello?
His reputation seems to be more important I guess
He was black
@@stevenashley9922 that was pretty racist ngl
Exactly! He would of been great for the position of a tiger caretaker!
He got mauled by his own tiger. That's not "keeping it under control."
He just wanted a zoo. Imagine if he actually went the through with his dreams. That room was his first exhibit. đ
It could be interesting back story for super villain
"Someone who love something to much, then tragedy struck. The law took it away from him, now he want to settle the score"
That's the expensive version of John Wick.
Then he runs around abducting animals from zoos aquariums and wild life sanctuaries and takes them back to his compound and gives tours of his menagerie on the dark web wearing a maskđŠčđœââïž
For anyone curious like I was, the small house cat, Shadow, was never seen again after Ming nearly attacked it (and subsequently attacked Yates instead). so there's no guarantee it was killed or attacked by Ming. the poor little thing probably ran for it and never looked back.
This brother got a gift. He just needed opportunity and education
Right...this is his brother Aaron Yates
Amen
You think locking animals in a tiny room is a gift?
It's selfish though that he had that tiger locked up in the apartment for all those year's..... Did he even walk the tiger?
@PogChamp It was wrong that he kept a 400lb tiger in the apartment, but don't call him an idiot and treat him like dirt, he was uneducated and he made a mistake, as simple as that, he meant no harm to Ming and he loved animals, so maybe instead of insulting him, you could teach him and help him understand, how would you feel if you made a mistake and over a million people started insulting you because of it?
That was the tigers apartment and it was letting Antoine stay there

Ming the tiger passed away recently at the age of 19. RIP Beautiful animal
:(
Who were these roommates that were cool with living with a tiger? How is that not an instant deal breaker.
He should have a bought a property outside of NYC, secured it and then raised all the animals he wanted to raise.
Yes a taxi driver owning a big property in NYC and raising animals.
Antoine: I kept a tiger in my apartment
Joe Exotic: Hold my beer
This sounds like a Brooklyn 99 episode
*NEtfIiX*
R.I.P ming 2000-2019 we will miss you buddy
âI saw a tiger.â
âIâm sure you did.â
That scene at 3:07 is just really funny to me
You should of said" I saw a tiger believe it:
A missed opportunity
"What did you do to end up locked in jail?"
-"I had a tiger in an apartment building for three years."
3:20 Even tigers watch The Infographics Show
I bet Joe Exotic would of hired him. Joe probably would of made him the 3rd husband đ
Would have*
Miranda Myers that is hilarious. Seriously underrated comment
4th husband
I appreciate the love he had for animals. Wished he chose to become a zoologist instead of the path he did choose.
Alice Oh I agree. He clearly had a gift. He just needed to learn how to go about it in a better way. He should have got a job at the zoo or gone to school to be a vet.
*WeLL . . Wut is Antwain Doing now!!!??? also the Tiger!!!!*
I tried that career to and now im a surtified collage dropout. Unless your a white girl your chances of getting that degree are pretty slim.
This is not an easy path for someone in Harlem. I don't know if he or his mom knew there was a degree for that.
@@volitionspark2686 "Someone In Harlem" really? that's a LIE. NY have some of the best medical schools in the world. Yes even for Vets.
My mother was friends with a rich guy who had tigers, chimpanzees, a lynx, gibbons, etc. It was pretty wild going there and interacting with them all up close.
I heard this story many times before and it still astounds me every time why he thought having a tiger as a pet was a good idea
Lol scared of her safety?
Then she moved to Philadelphia...

Who else saw this an instantly thought about the hangover
Yep it did
Iâm seriously shocked at the lack of hangover people
Life of Pi: New York edition
They should've elaborated more on how he acquired the đ .
I canât imagine the sadness he felt when his tiger and other animals (esp the tiger who was tranquilized) were taken away and put in sanctuaries etc. :(. I wonder if he ever reunited with ming. If he did I can just see how happy they both would of been. Ugh my heart
Just your average tiny 5 bedroom NYC apartment......
Can you imagine the rent?? Woof....
Reminds me of Secret Life of Pets 2 when they had to hide the small tiger in the grandma's house.

Mostly inspired from here
I feel for the owner. He has this big heart and love for animals even wild ones.. He just needs to get financed and a chance to take care of animals again :(
One Fat Kitten agreed
This is an awesome story. I'm invested.
1:38 "in order to purchase a lion club"?
He meant to say Lion Cub.
I thought I heard that too. But then I was like nahhh I'm hearing things
I didnât realize Ming was moved so close to me! My husband and I used to camp and fish at Berlin Lake and at night, you can hear the animals roaring so loudly!
Lol I know homie. Heâs from the projects on 142th and 7th in harlem
Compared to most people owning exotic animals, this is probably the most wholesome story I've heard.
Recently in Poland there was a case of a man arrested for keeping a puma in his house, when the police took her to the zoo she became anxious, calmed down only when the keepers gave her her owner's shirt, he also volunteered for the zoo and has the opportunity to see her. In my opinion, there was a real bond between them after all, and it's a shame that everything turned out like that.
This man is a real life Ezekiel.
Who?
Ezekiel is a character from the walking dead series, who tamed a tiger during the zombie apocalypse
Heâs even black too
I like how y'all say despite living in a tiny New York apartment it was relatively healthy. It's almost like they don't do this in zoo's all the time.
This was in my "recommended videos" list after watching Tiger King.. đ€
There are many Vietnamese rural households (illegelly) breed tigers in their backyard (for money) but fail and the tigers end up die young. This man really has big love and knowledge to breed a tiger.
Yeah Idk about that, I think I'll keep my woods tiger free
But you're big foot
Bigfoot on yt is more mysterious than irl Bigfoot change my mind
Its Sooooo crazy how stories get twisted but hey, Perspective is everything.
Fatal Attractions, I saw it first there. Like if you remember that show.
Real Blue Star I miss the old animal planet
Thomas K same!!!!! đ
Old animal planet was the best
Yeah. I remember seeing it on Fatal Attractions
Can owning a pet make you a happier person?
The Girlfriend wasn't happy about my choice of a pet!
RockNRoll190000 nice! đđđđ
Grandson : I want a pet cat grandma.
Overly Loving grandma : here's your one pet cat đŠ dear.
Enjoy, and don't get eaten.
I actually remembering seeing this on animal planet back in what- 2009- 07- crazy how this only gets brought up again now.
Love these videos
They never mentioned what happened to Shadow, probably got eaten by Ming.
Whoâs watching this after watching Tiger King? đ đđŸââïž
youtube recommends me this because i just watched the the netflix tiger king....big bro for sure watching
These stories are why I love this show
I hate how people do things like this and lie without thinking about the consequences.
Imagine the polices reaction...
In my fourth grade class we learned about the story it was a really cool story on read works

3:30 I sware I had a cat called shadow who is the exact same and adored her. We had her as a kitten but unfortunately she died about a year ago. RIP Shadow Akhtar.
As much as I understand his reasoning for keeping the tiger, and keeping in mind that the tiger was relatively healthy, no exotic animal should be kept as pets. These are beautiful animals who donât deserve to be in cages or in our own homes! They deserve their freedom as much as we do. Yes we all have imagined having a wild animal like a tiger or bear as kids but thereâs a reason why theyâre called wild animals. This man was lucky nobody got killed!
Only 4000 tigers live in the wild... without humans they'd be extinct.
Luckily, he was taking good care of him.
Nah
We can barely domesticate small cats, trying to keep big cats as pets is not realistic unless you have you large plots of open land or something đ€Šââïž
Not only that he raised the tiger in New York the living conditions here is not healthy at all and he kept it in project apartments aswell
I live in New York...
*Chuckles* I'm in danger..
Wow, you can't make this stuff up!
1:42 Racine is in Wisconsin I thought? Correct me if Iâm wrong. Pretty weird thing to comment lol
This story was touching
Cellie: why you in here bro?
Tiger man: because I had a tiger
We've found a competitor for Ezekiel from The Walking Dead
Lions , tigers đ & bears oh my a real wizard of Oz. Antoine is awesome đ.
I remember the day I heard on the news that they found a tiger in Harlem all I can think was ... only in New York
How did he feed all of those animals?
my question
Probably not very well since grown tigers need about 40 pounds of raw meat a day đ«
I also have a 400lb killer in my apartment...
MY FAT CAT
Lol the captions write climbing out of a widow in stead of window
I remember seeing this on Animal Planet.
Oh I remember this
This is a highly tigerrific story with a gr-r-r-eat ending. A tiger living to 19 years old, that's impressive. They don't normally last that long.
I remember this from news. This was very strange and interesting.
I remember this story. It was all anyone could talk about for a week.
1:40 "Lion Club" KEKW
He could save money to get thousands of dollars of exotic animals. However he couldnt save the money to get a better apartment / living situation
I know thereâs a guy in South Africa who owns 2 tigers (he keeps them in an enclosure which he carefully designed for them), along with many dogs, cats, chickens, and even Capuchin monkeys. His name is Michael Jamison, and he has his own channel on CZcams.
I knew people who kept all types of elapids and vipers in a big log cabin house in the middle of no where.. sounds like a death trap but they been doing it for so long.. Iâve had a bobcat as a pet once.
I'm sorry what? Only 4000 tigers left in the wild?
Yes, and 70% of them are in Indian jungles. But Texas in US alone has 5000 captive tigers I heard. Captive tigers aren't valuable to the conservation of the species though.
Jesus. They really are going extinct.
@@j1407bmoon bloddy texans how do they even get a permit for a 400 pound tiger...???
Awww so cute.
love how u use lunimes backrounds without crediting him :)
Heâd love Kenya and Costa Rica. Iâve been to both those countries and saw wildlife like never before. I saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, buffaloes, zebras, and gazelles in Kenya, and monkeys, crocodiles, sloths, raccoons, frogs, and exotic birds in Costa Rica. I had the time of my life in both places.
Imagine waking up next to boa constrictor , 400lb tiger and lion
5:18 Look its Conan Obrian
At least he loved animals.đâ€đŻ
I feel like this could be a full length movie
