This is how animals react to a fake tiger.
A Thailand-based YouTuber has earned a huge following with videos showing him joking around with animals with a stuffed tiger. Videos that have logged millions of views each on the video streaming platform show him placing a fake tiger next to unsuspecting animals and filming their reaction.
In most cases, the animals are scared off by the fake tiger, jumping and quickly fleeing from the apex predator. In some cases, however, the dogs defend themselves by barking furiously. In the videos, it appears that the YouTuber apologizes to the animals that he has pranked on by feeding them afterwards.
The fake tiger prank videos have been uploaded to the ‘Angel Naga’ YouTube channel. In a video, shared four days ago, the YouTuber pranks monkeys and dogs with his tiger toy. From jumping scared to running away quickly, here’s how the animals reacted:
The video has gone viral with a whopping 4 million views on YouTube and has circulated widely on other social media platforms as well, collecting hundreds of hilarious comments.
In another clip, shared just a day ago, cats, along with dogs, become the target of the joke, although a brave little kitten was filmed following the ‘tiger’ with curiosity rather than running away (skip to mark of 0.38 to see).
This video has been viewed more than 2 million times on YouTube.
Several people flocked to the comment section to say they found the videos hilarious, while others wondered how urban animals learned to be afraid of tigers.
“Some of these animals have never seen a tiger, much less a big cat. Therefore, their reaction must come from instinct when their ancestors constantly faced such threats,” wrote one person.
“No, clearly untrue, those monkeys and dogs were paid actors,” another joked, while a third said, “I love watching the final part after the fun times … thanks for feeding them.”
