Fond childhood memories consist of going to the zoo with one’s family and friends. And the greatest attraction of a zoo is usually the big cat enclosure. But a recent video shared on social media shows how dangerous these big cats can be. The video taken at the Dublin zoo shows a tiger trying to pounce upon a little boy sitting in front of its glass enclosure.
The video taken by a Twitter user shows the kid sitting calmly in front of the glass partition. While the boy sits waiting for a picture, the tiger is seen making a move towards him very slowly. The kid turns around to give the tiger a look and this makes the tiger freeze in its tracks. The moment the boy turns to face the camera, the tiger jumps as if to pounce on the boy. Thankfully, the glass wall separates them.
“My son was on the menu in Dublin Zoo today,” the Twitter user wrote in the caption.
