Zookeeper Sees Tiger Mom Biting Little Tiger, Initially Thought It Was Abuse, But Then Called It Adorable
Cat owners who have watched 'Planet Earth' probably have an innate fear of ferocious creatures like tigers. However, tigers in zoos are relatively safe for owners these days, mainly because of the good protective measures.
Today, Dr. Xiao Ming will share the story of the tiger mom and her little cub. A zookeeper has a female tiger who gave birth to a very cute little tiger cub.
We know that tigers are large feline animals, and cat owners who have watched 'Planet Earth' probably have seen cat mothers carrying their kittens in their mouths. Kittens bitten on the neck by their mothers will also be very obedient.
The tiger mom wasn't 'abusing' her little cub, but rather her carrying skills weren't fully developed. It needed to practice more. The zookeeper was amused by the little tiger's lifeless appearance and exclaimed how cute it was. Dr. Xiao Ming also laughed, it's really difficult for a first-time tiger!
Little Tiger: Mom, do you want me to go by myself?
Dr. Xiao Ming explains: Kitties move when they are carried by their mothers, so cat owners would notice that when their kittens are being fussy, grabbing their necks can make them immediately quiet.
However, this method only applies to small kittens, for adult cats, the changes in weight and body shape are no longer suitable for being grabbed by the neck, which can harm them. Moreover, it's best not to use this method with unfamiliar cats to prevent being bitten.
