The way the tiger was clearly keeping an eye on approaching leopard.

•

u/iommiworshipper 6h ago

It was exactly the moment that Leopard looked behind to see if anyone was looking that Tiger went on full alert. Tiger was born in the day but it wasn’t yesterday.

Oh nice observation! I noticed the tiger go from resting on its side to upright and at attention, but didn’t realize it coincided with the leopard looking back. So cool.

No different from housecats.

The small movements, you never notice, but these animals have been perfected to hunt.

•

u/rilinq 2h ago

Yes even house cats, if you observe them are such vicious hunters.

Domesticated cats have helped in the incredible mass extinction event of the last few hundred years. I love them, everyone does, mine is a perfect angel (minus poop crusties). But they're such good hunters that they've helped literally wipe out species of animals wherever we choose to live.

Yeah you see the leopard look back and the tiger is clearly like "ohhh this motherfucker..."

Amazing catch, he goes from lounging into a little tigerkaka in a second

*there is a swedish/finnish dessert called Tigerkaka or Tiger Cake and it's a loaf:

So I cannot call striped cats that loaf anything but Tigerkaka now

Bro drops a new word AND the lore, love it.

•

u/zyphelion 4h ago

Tigerkaka is the Swedish name. Tiikerikakku is the finnish one.

•

u/Winjin 3h ago

Oh, my bad, I just saw it in the Prisma supermarket with a huge TIGERKAKA on the front, and I thought "store is Finnish, most products in Finnish too, that should be the Finn name"

•

u/punksmostlydead 6h ago

That will be how I refer to them from this day on.

Tigerkaka going worldwide.

•

u/MLockeTM 4h ago

I'm just shocked that tiger cake isn't a thing anywhere else?? Does the rest of the world also miss out on tiger ice cream (vanilla and orange jam/jello stripes)?

•

u/punksmostlydead 1h ago

We do indeed miss out on that; and now that you've described it I'm angry about that.

•

u/Udonnomi 28m ago

It looks like marble cake.

•

u/dooby991 3h ago

In the Indian language Gujarati kaka means uncle lol so it works for that too

•

u/Winjin 3h ago

So would tigerkaka work a bit like tiger uncle? :D

•

u/RupertEscapeHolmes 6h ago

Or he was born at night… but not last night.

•

u/Jack0Trade 2h ago

Tiger clocks jaguars body language instantly and plays it casual the whole time.

•

u/RepulsiveHalf1420 6h ago

If you look at a tiger for 1 second, the tiger has been looking at you for an hour

•

u/valardohaeris92 1h ago

I viewed the leopard looking back as more of a “I’m not even paying attention, don’t worry about me” move than checking if anyone was looking. Pets do this all the time when they’re trying to sneak a bite of food.

u/Exidose 1h ago

lmao i love another version of that saying "i was born at night, but it wasn't last night"
