I love how when Stripe started to fall off the log the man rushed over like it was his baby falling 😂❤❤
Because he took the mothers place of raising them he has to show them that he cares and can be trusted. czcams.com/video/SR6X-j55eEA/video.html
czcams.com/video/fcRRJHVtGPw/video.html
Ofcourse hooman babies are less important. Only 2500+ tigers. 8B hoomans.
Stripe is his baby 🧡
Danielle Alexis that’s rude don’t make fun of a little cub falling off
I guess it was his baby 😄😂
The cub's trust of riding on the man's back was so touching.
true
Omg ikr 😭😭
Ikr it's so cute 😚
I cried my eyes out
rj zander He’s raised them since they were newborn
This bloke having a scared baby tiger on his back is probably the cutest thing ever.
you can only say bloke if you're from australia sorry
Reuben Ahmed what about the British, the depressed Australians
Reminds me of when I first learned how to swim.
@@elmalloc british aswell
@Rowan Melton that's what he said
"He needs some gentle encouragement" I was waiting for him to throw him in😂
yes yes..😂😂😂😂 me too... that would have been epic...
ANKESH GAURAV Tigers are revengeful animals . Gaand maarke rakh deta vo trainer ki 😂😂😂
That's the way I learned 😂
Ohhhh....so you all were those kind of bastards, huh?
Omg same 😂
Helping a baby tiger swim is probably the cutest thing I've ever seen. Including the trainer himself.
HoldMeCloserTonyDanza i was thinking the same thing😉
I was so thinking the same thing too.
true. but i'd prefer the teacher to be their parents. i think that would be much cooler
Eww he ugly
HoldMeCloserTonyDanza THEY’RE SO CUTE!
-"honey, what did you do today?"
-"A tiger rode on my back while I swam."
Best day at work ever!😂
I just sat in my bed all day watching at tiger videos
I like how the cubs proceed to stalk the dog even though mum is watching right next to them lol
stalking is sort of a game for them, its not like he was hunting for real
The tiger cub was looking after himself a future lunch )))))
Awww
Mum
I was disappointed, I wanted to see if the tiger was going to go for the bone or the dog!
bonus fact: The white spots on the back of tigers ears are meant to look like eyes. Many predators only attack when they think you dont see them, so these ear spots protect against suprise attacks from behind.
And apparently this is also how people gave protected themselves from tigers; by painting eyes on the back of hats/helmets.
Wait. What's there in the wild that has the balls to attack a tiger from behind?
@@nrb1177 Dont know. Maybe other tigers?
RB N absolutely nothing only things in their environment that could ruin a tigers day is an angry elephant that thought the tiger got too close or a douchebag with a gun
Evolution is fascinating
"DON'T JUMP INTO THE WATER IF YOU ARE CHASED BY A TIGER, OR CLIMB A TREE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BE FASTER THAN THE SLOWEST PERSON IN YOUR GROUP."
Inspiring quote.
Now what if there is no group???
@@MrLeiduowen Run till you find one xD
Or have a gun.
@@MrLeiduowen Always be in a group if you are in Tiger areas. =P
what if you are with your family?
Oh my god that baby back ride was sooooooooo cute
+Tony Tan I *WANT* to go swimming with a baby tiger!!
+Tony Tan - That near killed me! What a sweetheart. It was as if he reeeeally wanted to get in the water, like his brother. He just needed a little nudge!
IKR Sripe is cute 😍😍
You are right
+Tony Tan ikr? he was like "dadeeeeee I'm scared!"
Tiger cub: “I am so stealthy. I am the stealthiest ever!” Passes mom with her arms crossed watching baby tiger stalk the dog out in the open. “This grass hides me so well! No one can see me! I am the stealthiest!”
I am speeeed. Oh wait..
@@leonardopurba.s doing the Lighting McQueen impression huh...
Mom with crossed arms be like...
I've mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still...that I become invisible to the eye. Watch...

Just how many people in the world can claim that they helped a tiger cub swim? He was literally giving the tentative one a ride like a mama or daddy. Beautiful.
The bond he has with those tigers: priceless.
Tiger Cubs : **touch the water for the first time*
30 seconds later:
*Able to Swim*
😂😂😂😂 sometimes I really hate that I'm a human...

@@minoriruba1828 i always do 😂
Me when I was 1 year old: *touches water* how to swim?
Me at today's year old: Still can't freaking swim
Me: *GRUBEGEGRUEGEYEGEUEGG*
The little cub stalking was the cutest thing. Terrifying of course, knowing what they could do to you, but it’s just so cute to see them learning.
Did anyone notice how he was able to mimic the tiger sound for comfort that’s crazy😂😂😱😱😱😱
It's called chuffing, pretty eas noise to make. Was cute though :)
സൂപ്പർ
@2:13 omg i thought it was the cubs doing that! 😂
@@02superkid well the people at zoo’s who work with tigers are told to chuff back to the tigers when they work with them
Damn. That dog needs to be more alert. He almost became that bone.
I think the more matured dog would be more able to seriously harm the tiger cub.
@@youdecidewhatmynameis3549 not in 2 years they're not
@@MM-vs2et true
@@youdecidewhatmynameis3549 i dont think so lol
@Emily Smiles yeah also he's wiggling his tail to the right, studies show that that actually means hes happy, when they shake their tail to the left theyre nervous
"Run faster than the slowest person in the group" oh gosh... Im the slowest person.
*Time to work on my cardio*
With my luck ill get faster and tigers will go "ehhh i want the leaner meat, ill catch andrew
That is true for polar bears too. Or you can take off your clothes and throw it towards the polar bear and it'll stop and smell it, but then you'll freeze to death since you usually encounter polar bears in very cold climates. Freezing to death may be preferable to being eaten alive though.
Nikko Nikole rule #1 in surviving zombieland is cardio
As long as you become the second slowest you'll be alright
or just don't live in india lol
When he climbed on his back to use him as support it was the cutest thing ever
New personal rule: If I am ever going adventuring into the wild I'm taking someone slower than me
@Yowatsapp 05 but they're endangered .-.
@Yowatsapp 05 no I'm not gonna shoot an animal that clearly was following instincts that I pushed to hard
Ideally the slower someone is someone you don't like very much
@Yowatsapp 05 Gun nut spotted.
@@Raison_d-etre he’s pathetic
These people have the best jobs in the world!
i think thats high risk too...
Until they get eaten
And some have died!
Justin Fever but these animals have the worst life in the world.
nakuboy yeah but aren’t they rescued?
I like how the cub thought he was being sneaky, just creeping up on the dog, but the camera then pans to the wife who is just standing there with her arms crossed, watching the cub stalk its "prey" It's really funny
the cinematography is amazing
You don't know what the cub was thinking. I'm pretty sure that when cats stalk friendly entities in a non-serious way, they want to be caught, it's a form of affection.
That cub was like 'No one can see me, I'm a ninja'
well it wouldnt be funny when its all grown
He was going for the food the dog had not the dog
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly, he swims on bacc.
1:51 It's amazing that Stripe asked for help by reaching out with his paws for Giles's hands. They are not only a natural swimmer but a natural communicator at such a young age! ❤🐯
When he got on his back in the water Oh god the cute
Nokoda ikr
I am SO jealous of those zookeepers! That guy was SWIMMING with two tiger cubs!
me too!!
+Nashali Clavijo I know write
*right
Yes beautiful, two little tigers jailed for a funny moment .
Very good
They aren't jailed.
Imagine a person getting chased by a tiger, they quickly jump into the river and start swimming. thinking their safe they look back and see the tiger trailing him/her
I bet its happened 😂😂😂😂
Bruh.....in sumatra. Had to use a large torch and durian husk...the smellier the better.
and gaining because the tiger's probably a faster swimmer.
@Arigato Gozaimasu eh? In sawit field in lampung and binjai still have sighting and hunts for tigers. Yes, it will goes extinct as javanesse tigers too, sadly...
actualy this is bullshit that tiger cant eat you in the water while swimming... probaly he would fuck off and go away ... and if not you can easily dive under him and pull him on his leg under water, that would freak him out...
The fact that perfect swimming form is INSTINCTUAL is pretty amazing.
Never mind swimming with Dolphins, I wanna swim with baby tigers
Don't give them ideas.
Dolphins are suffering in the pools. Check out dolphinproject.com. You won’t want to swim with them unless you prefer to be selfish ☝🏼
Maria Alberola they probably mean in the wild lmao
Same
Careful what you wish for, hon.😅
well i need to sleep.. goodb... Oh! another baby tiger video!
yup! 😻

“I don’t need kids, I need tigers.”
A pet isnt going to support you or be there for you when you’re older and in need 🙃
@@jtommyboi a tiger isn't a pet. it's a wild animal.
Do you wanna get eaten
@@jtommyboi a kid may send you to old age home lmao
@@jtommyboi a child's duty isn't to take care of you when you get older either. don't use your children as retirement funds. it's their choice if they're gonna help you or not. if u want them to, maybe treat them right from the very start of their life until they become independent :)
This man is full of kindness and compassion towards wild animals, he is an angel.
Books: cats hate water

@@MrLoowiz . Re read that sentence.
@@justapersonz5441 Yeah. So what?
I have homework to do but you know...
Tigers 😊
+Johnie Papas BABY tigers! who can resist
+Johnie Papas youll probably learn more from this video anyway lol
tell me about it !!!!!!!!!!
rele
It's so tiny and cute 👍
They might become unpredictable (or at least dangerous) when they get bigger but when this small, they are adorable beyond reason.
The trust established between these cubs and trainers is AMAZING!
So caring and gentle in their teachings ❤
"all you have to do is run faster then the slowest person in the group" :D killed me haha
yeah, but not the most reassuring words
Gear It is true tho, he shouldn't sweeten up facts. Lol
it is if you're a fast dude like me =D
That's actually a really old and overused joke. This is probably just your first time hearing it. The classic phrasing of that joke is actually getting away from sharks, that you don't have to swim faster than a shark, just the other swimmers.
At least the tiger won't :p
"all you have to do is run faster than the slowest person in your group" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“A big powerhouse of a unit”
& the tiger too
Ie, stay clear of that
now where did i learn that oh right mitochondria
Cub- Stalking the dog
Guy-"Caesar will bite you"
I'm amazed at how the cubs were honing their stalking skills without being taught by their mother or anyone else. A natural innate instinct, quite interesting indeed.
Nicholette Chua
I think it's a natural instinct but mom teaches them to perfect it and even at times the manners of who you can and cannot stalk
They are growing into big, gorgeous tigers. It is amazing how the instincts kick in, even though they're being raised by humans. You can't deny millions of years of evolution.
+Katherine Uribe Domestic cats do exactly the same thing.. And they have been domesticated for thousands of years..
+Katherine Uribe You can, simply by using facts.
+AdstarAPAD It's astounding to see, isn't it...to know that you can take the cat out of the jungle, but not the jungle out of the cat. Or savannah, whatever is appropriate.
+tiarnan76 Which facts, sir?
+Katherine Uribe All animals are coded with information - its called DNA - which is why animals have a predisposition to act in certain ways no matter the environment...Evolutionists seem to think that information can write itself - or indeed that life started by the magic of lightning hitting rocks etc ....Theres is no fool proof dating of time going back 6,000 years (carbon dating) - I could go on and on - but like all pro evolutionists I'm sure your heart is set on believing this fallacy, so I'll leave you to it. :)
2:03 that scene literally made want to cry. It's so heartwarming 😭
That water scene were he cuddled him so just so cute❤️
Good man Giles, lovely interaction with the tigers.
2:35
*run faster than the slowest person in the group*
that is a really good advice 😂
Ikr, never have thought about it that way
Especially those Ostriches
@@psisis7423 w0/
That's quite reassuring.
Dang. I'm always the slowest.
LMAO “run faster than the slowest person in the group”
I love watching baby tigers, lions and more baby animals learn new things it’s so cute! I probably have already watched this bout 10 times already!
OMG I COULD JUST DIE jshjafhsj I CANT! WHEN STRIPE GOT ONTO THE GUY'S BACK T-T
,nbmhhjbjuuiihjhnmnjkjkmmmjnjhjjkjijjhjjjjnnjhjjhj👭
i died when that happened
Marry me!
+alex febrianoo thats so random xD
+Meme Machine i feel ya 😂😂
um, the cub seems to be unaware that he has about 3 people who are watching him..not quite 007 yet, little cub...
lol your comment is brilliant
That’s cause he is more focused on the dog not being aware :)
What don't you understand about "instinct"?
the connection the cubs have to their caretaker is so heartwarming wow
I love the way they paddle their feet in the water. So cute!
I love tigers, one of the most be breathtaking animals in the world
+cannabiscorpsefan Well, they're breathtaking, 1st through cuteness, 2nd though powerful jaws squeezing your throat hahaha.
They'll be extinct soon, thanks to the most grotesque, self-righteous species in the world (humans).
literally breathtaking
Pat Fitzgerald horribly sad but true. I pray there is hope yet for these magnificent creatures
+April Tortorici ywjstl bit
OMG WHEN THE BABY WAS ON THE BACK LIKE SO CUTE!
I love this video. I comeback to it every few months, it just makes me feel good. Being Australian and hearing a home accent is brilliant and those tigers are just so beautiful. Thank you very much.
Oh man, those cubs are totally adorable! That little one diving right in was great, and that's some pretty awesome swimming footage too!
Wow, he really trusts the guy to get on his back and face his fears of swimming. Unbelievable bond for life!
Well, giles is it's mum. Of course it's trust him.
Watching this you know that The Crocodile Hunter is looking down smiling
“Don’t jump into the water when being chased by a tiger, or climb a tree, you just need to run faster than the slowest person in the group”
Well the truth is what if I’m the slowest person? Guess I will evaporate and yeet myself out 😂
If your the slowest just trip someone beside you.
@@chrispalmer3330 EVIL 😂
@@chrispalmer3330 rofl
just say no to the tiger,the tiger cannot touch you without your consent
"Just runner faster than the slowest person in your group, and you'll be okay". LMAO
Actually the tips of how to escaping tiger's attack is to never turn your back on the tiger. Tigers will not attack you as long as you face to face with them.
Adira Zaidin never is kind of a strong word. Theres no guarantees like that with a wild animal. But it should improve your odds from certain death to maybe/probably dead

I'm going to bed now.

“He needs some gentle encouragement from Giles.” Giles, meanwhile, needs to have his back sliced to bits by those scary claws.
I just found it so cute and adorable as stripe was walking on the wooden log and he accidentally fell and was holding on the wooden log and then Giles helped him, that was cute and having that stripe on his back taking him swimming with himself is so cute
I love watching my cat's shoulder blades as they stalk a bird or mouse.
It's really interesting. I just love the cat family.
***** Oh I love them so much!
I love the big cats, but, house cats.. *rid them from my life*
I love the wiggly butt before pouncing ^^
the tiger on his back looks so cute!!!!!
Een van de gevaarlijkste dieren in de wereld. En ook : onberekenbaar
"Just run faster than the slowest person in your group." LOL!
1:52 *stripe: dont worry hooman, i'll save you from drowning
Perfect: he will catch you on solid ground, in the water, on the tree, no escape.
What a blessing for those cubs to have/had Giles in their life and what a blessing it is for him to have had them! There is nothing more precious than how he helps Stripe after the cub nearly falls in and how he encourages the little one in the water. Giles is truly an angel on earth and a blessing to these babies.
It looked like he was trying to pull you out of the water that was too cute and even more cute when he was on your back!
That stalking moment was creepy.
Sent a shiver down my spine.
Yeah, imagine the tiger two years older and it turns from cute to slaughter.
I need me a man like Giles
I need a sandwich like giles
02:01 This was the cutest thing I have seen this year so far.
"You can't outrun a tiger!"
"I don't have to outrun the tiger, I just have to outrun you!"
if i cant out run you, i will trip you somehow
Tiger: I don’t wanna drown
Human: trust bro
I love how the Tigers act like tigers, yet at the same time like young boys. Stripe especially was like, 'Cmon Dad, help me out here! I can't swim!' And when he slipped in and his 'dad' caught him and gave him reassurance was just perfect. They are being brought up in the right way for human tiger interaction! They aren't being mistreated, nor are they being treated like humans, as many people do!
I love that Giles is using the chuffing sound when he's helping Stripe in the pool.
0:52 his frightened face is so adorable😭💓
Having a tiger ride on your back while swimming rivals riding a motorcycle through the jungle alongside velociraptors.
When it's a baby cub that trust you sure because Velociraptor is can outrun a motorcycle and will definitely kill you
😁😁
Caesar will bite you! Give that cat few months and the table is turned. That is amazing.

Beautiful Animal!..and that man is nothing short of being a Angel
Imagine being a little kid who gets to grow up with tigers in the garden
well.. this tiger just jumped on the mans back.... i need to go punch something.. get my manly back
45BATISTA just like human toddlers swimming on dad to get some confidence
WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR MANLINESS. ITS A BABY TIGER.
45BATISTA no, unashamedly having feelings is what makes you manly!(:
Pierre LeDouche no, they aren't machines, that's what humans who don't want to feel guilty about treating them like objects tell themselves, unashamedly having feelings is what makes one manly
45BATISTA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂me too👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
OMG, that was too precious when the cub jumped on his back...but gee, what a nice outside sanctuary the tigers have. I wish my yard was as nice as that!
He is amazing..his care and everything are lovely
The back ride was so sweet aww 🖐🏽😃👍🏽🐯🐅
‘ All you gonna do is run faster than the slowest person in the group ‘
Me : you telling me to die ?
please don't spt grow up
this guy's got the best job in the world - swimming with tigers
I was lucky enough to have bottle fed a Tiger Cub..stunning creatures!
0:58 So are we going to talk about the fact that this guy is swimming in collar shirt with shoes and belt on, but he is also using scuba goggles?
he still has human eyes and we cant see too well under water
This is really heartwarming to see :) Thanks for sharing BBC Earth
i'm not crying im not crying
Diana Ross I cried a little bit. Beautiful majestic creatures
Wonderful, seeing what powerful swimmers they are even so young. May they have long, joyful lives.
Omg he gets to take them home with him, I’m soooo jealous! They are so incredibly beautiful and just amazing animals!
Best tiger habitat in a zoo ever!!!
I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT THAT THEY SET UP A DOG FOR THE TIGERS TO EAT AND I WAS SCREAMING
ehh who cares about dogs
Oh dear smh
@Michael G. 1. I posted it because I thought I was free to post,not to see people like you here.
