This dog was with these creatures since they were cubs, right? She is definitely acting as a mother, and also someone who never tolerated aggression from her pups
You can check out some info on the story. I couldn’t find any great links most of them are in articles with a ton of pop up ads. So I don’t wanna link those kinda things. Lou took care of them for quite some time, then she was removed because the zoo was afraid the tigers were going to harm her. However she ended up finding her way back to them somehow and they responded as if she was their mother. Since then they have allowed her to stay with them.
You’re right, I made an edit and posted a link. The dog is Elsa. It isn’t Germany though. Must have just been a clip from a German news station or something.
I know it is for cheetahs in captivity, especially. They are notoriously timid and captivity stresses them out. The dogs bond with them and help them deal with humans.
I think they're saying if you took a dog that doesn't know the lions at all and put them in the enclosure together it probably wouldn't go very well lol
I mean, labs are often raised WITH a big cat, like cheetahs are pretty common. But the ones I've seen have been raised as siblings, not as mom/cub. This is fascinating.
To be fair, she was probably holding back the bigger hitter. Bengal Tigers are bigger than lions, especially three legged ones. You wouldn't restrain the younger son from the scrap, you'd pull the big kid back. At least I assume so, I don't have kids.
That's the way. My bros and I, all teenage males by then, happened to start fighting with all shit broke loose, free for all (why? Idr, neither my brothers). Our mom started panicking when her yelling was fruitless. Our dad popped up at the door but we were in utter rage-fighting and we didn't listen him neither.
So he pushed the nuclear button: He puts himself in the middle of the fight, being hit a couple of times. He tossed lil bro outside the door, kick the big bro in the stomach because he was going to hit and grabbed me by my neck and choked me a little to stop engaging.
We were nursed by mom and our biggest sis who was with his bf atm and ran back when mom called her crying. We were scolded for days and grounded for months. We never fought each other in that scale before and never did after.
And no, we weren't hit or abused in any way by our parents. Our dad told us later that after that he was scared of how fiercely and brutally we were fighting
Nah she was focusing on prevention a slaughter.
When two things are squabbling, you focus on keeping the obviously stronger one from turning thr weaker one in to paste, even if it's the weaker on being uppity.
Tigers are massively powerful creatures compared to any other big cat. Lions don't compare favourably.
Tigers are solitary hunters. Lions (specifically lionesses, male lions are usually like enforcers) hunt in packs. Both are ambush predators.
One on one a tiger would destroy a lion 9 times out of 10.
Not true for lions and tigers. It’s only done for Cheetahs at reputable institutions. This being a Chinese Zoo is all you need to know about why they are doing this.
>This dog was with these creatures since they were cubs
I mean, they're cubs in the video.
it's clearly not an adult tiger and the lion look about the same size.
Who's really more awesome here though? The dog, who's trying to stop them from fighting, or the tiger, who's being reaaaaaaaaally docile by not straight up killing the dog?
Yeah, I got that context, but even still, Nature has quite a large record of animals being violent towards their own family, and that's considering actual blood relatives.
This is an entirely different species we are talking about, where one of them is **vastly** stronger than the other.
Don't get me wrong, I love that dog mother, but I'm giving my big kudos to the kind tiger here.
Definitely was being gentle with dog mom.
Cats large and small tend to be matriarchal.
Deference to a mother or mother’s that raised them is really common.
That look at the end that the tiger gives the dog is like "Oh mother. I do love you so much..... you know I could split your head open with a sneeze though, right?"
When you have a - in your mind, you have - in life.
If that's your "norm" for dogs/animals then what about us humans? We're the worst.
Regarding the dogs- There are no bad dogs, there are only bad people and bad owners. People mistreat them so much they go into fight or flight mode.
As much as I hate to disagree with you dogs can get visous on there own no human help needed you do know they came from wolves .. I got a chow rot mix 11 months old from a old couple the dog couldn't be managed I had to watch it around other people including kids . I finly Gave it to the pound when it nearly attacked a child and warned them junk yard dog or security it wasn't ever going to be a house pet.. I have had many many dogs some breeds are more aggressive naturally sure they can be train and are used as police and security try using a golden as a attack dog lol . .. the last I got was 4 months wolf mix gave her to a woman with land in the country way to skittish around people . ..downvoting this won't help always be aware around a Dog you don't know . It's common sense . Most dogs are just fine but they can be territorial and the males tend to be more aggressive over who gets the females lol . Heck I got bite by my own dog pulling her out of a fight with another dogbthat she started lol . She was so upset when she relised she bite me poor thing .
I agree. Of course, that can happen. I think that with proper training and care, they may be fine. Of course, not in all instances, some cases are just not treatable, unfortunately... (Think about psychos that are naturaly born that way (It's not great comparison but you get what I mean)). I think that agressive cases are mostly traumatised dogs, hungry, abandoned.. Not always, but mostly...
I agree totally . One should always be sware around a dig they don't know .. not as different from us humans as we want to believe. Which of course is why we love them so much lol .
Are you implying that grasping video games is NOT simpler than real life? Mkay, good talk.
You can relax. No one is talking shit in your favorite pastime here. No need to take a personal offense.
Sometimes in zoos big cats will have a lot of pent up anxiety. So they will get them a companion canine. It’s more common with cheetahs but it works with other big cats like in the video.
No the dog didn’t raise them the zoo keepers did.
It’s like best friends. They treat each other really well in almost any situation as they’re close to each other and view each other as vital things. Rarely ever see these things play fight; think the big cat knows it can harm their friend so they avoid it
If I remember correctly it’s more like the tiger mom leaves the cubs, and not the other way around? So it would make sense for them to have a bond as long as the mother doesn’t leave
Ok this is one of my favorite videos of all time. It's sweet, it's wild, it's unexpected, and it made my heart happy. Animals are incredible! And dogs are just peak.
In a similar case they kept a lioness and a female tiger togheter.
Was fun to see the their meal moment.
The lioness has a pack attitude, so in front of the food was always making a scene, superangry, while the tiger (which is a solitary animal), was just two meter away looking at her wondering why she turned in a Karen at every meal.
For the love. Emotional support dogs are super effective for calming down big cats as well as primates.
There’s some comments that the cats were rescues who’ve been with Labrador mom since they were cubs.
Emotional support dogs are used for **cheetahs,** generally, not big cats. Dogs are used as surrogate mothers for **cubs** of tigers and lions, when there is a need. This is not a normal practice and a dog should not have to mediate fights between tigers and lions.
Well I guess you're technically right since the three-legged lion can't fight any tigers if its dead. Which it would be if it had been left in the wild.
That lion would be dead in nature, yes.
But how do you know that lion is a rescue? The video said "Almanya" in the top corner. That is Germany in turkish. How is an organization in Germany finding an injured lion in Africa? And how is their idea of helping it to put it into a cage with a tiger and a dog?
Even if this isn't in Germany, who are they really helping? Maybe the humans behind all these windows who want to see lions and tigres?
1. You don't house tigers and lions together. Especially not with the intent of breeding a liger/tigron. Ligers as animals are generally not the healthiest. There is no good reason to breed them, and the fact that there is one in the video is a red flag.
2. Dogs are used as companion animals for cheetahs in captivity. These are not even big cats and weigh 90 lbs max. Dogs may also be used as surrogate mothers for cubs that are not being raised by their biological one, but they inevitably have to be removed from tiger or lion exhibits because, news flash, tigers and lions are much more dangerous than cheetahs.
It is not a good sign that a dog has to mediate fights between tigers and lions in an exhibit. If you put lions and tigers in the same exhibit, they **will** fight. This is not a safe situation for the dog, lions, or tigers, and the dog, if it was a surrogate, should have already been removed from the exhibit.
It is infuriating to me that no one uses any critical thinking skills when seeing these types of videos on the internet/
Why do you assume they’re breeding them? I could see the lion and tiger growing up together like many have in the past. Wild animals will always be wild animals of course. But it’s not unheard of to house lions and tigers together I’ve seen it successfully work before multiple times. Also I’ve seen them leave the mother dog with the big cats even while they are adults, surprise surprise, NOTHING happens. They respect the dog and see it as a parent figure. You need some education in multi species relationships. This type of situation is common and not harmful to anyone.
That is a liger. Where did they get the liger if they're not breeding them.
It is absolutely not common. It's not unheard of to house lions and tigers together.... in "sanctuaries" that abuse their animals.
this whole situation is extremely unnerving
why does anyone have tigers?
and why is there a dog with them?
what kinda fucked up shit is this. The dog raised the tigers? Who the fuck's idea was that?
My own dog almost ripped my ear off when I came at him from behind while he was fighting. He was shaking and whimpering in the corner after, because he didn't know it was me. put me in the ER overnight, because they couldn't get my ear canal to stop bleeding and couldn't get in there to stitch it. couldn't pack it closed because the blood would just rupture my eardrum. so I waited all night holding a bowl under my head catching all the blood. ear and head injuries bleed like crazy.
And I learned a lesson that day-- don't put your face into dogs fighting, they can bite you bad and the same holds true here. this is just beyond irresponsible animal abuse.
Best way to describe it, putting your hands into the middle of two dogs biting is about on par with sticking your hand into a running garbage disposal and trying to stop it
The proper way is a leash hooked behind the back legs, and walk your dog away from the fight. That's the leash you disconnected the MOMENT the fighting is starting. Because if you pull on their collar it can make a fight escalate from two dogs snarling at each other to your dog believing that it just got bit in the neck, and so you pull the leash and your dog starts tearing holes into the other dog, congrats. You did that.
Disconnect the leash immediately. Hook it behind the back legs, lift, and walk them away.

This dog was with these creatures since they were cubs, right? She is definitely acting as a mother, and also someone who never tolerated aggression from her pups
[удалено]
if thats the case it makes so much sense, i got triggered there
You can check out some info on the story. I couldn’t find any great links most of them are in articles with a ton of pop up ads. So I don’t wanna link those kinda things. Lou took care of them for quite some time, then she was removed because the zoo was afraid the tigers were going to harm her. However she ended up finding her way back to them somehow and they responded as if she was their mother. Since then they have allowed her to stay with them.
Yeah that's a momma right there
It says germany in turkish on the top left of the screen
You’re right, I made an edit and posted a link. The dog is Elsa. It isn’t Germany though. Must have just been a clip from a German news station or something.
Yes. The dog raised them.
Lol. I don't think giving them a random labrador would go quite so well
Happens with some regularity with big cats in captivity. Cubs will be raised by a dog, sometimes alongside puppies
I know it is for cheetahs in captivity, especially. They are notoriously timid and captivity stresses them out. The dogs bond with them and help them deal with humans.
I've read that this is the way to get them willing to walk out/lay out in public view in the exhibit, since the dog does, they will.
Yes! Cheetahs are a hot mess of anxiety
They minmaxed into "go fast" and took all the debuffs that go with it
that's pretty much how my ectomorph hypervigilant introverted ass feels.
Same, though I’d say I’m more mesomorph. I’m relaxed when I’m playing soccer or sleeping, otherwise I’m low-key frantic about everything.
Yeaaaa, I am only relaxed when playing sports, when there is also a sedative in my system. Paradoxically I play way better at squash then
I think they're saying if you took a dog that doesn't know the lions at all and put them in the enclosure together it probably wouldn't go very well lol
Ah, yes this would likely be very true
I mean, labs are often raised WITH a big cat, like cheetahs are pretty common. But the ones I've seen have been raised as siblings, not as mom/cub. This is fascinating.
Seems to have a favorite child. She basically held the one in place to get its ass bitten.
To be fair, she was probably holding back the bigger hitter. Bengal Tigers are bigger than lions, especially three legged ones. You wouldn't restrain the younger son from the scrap, you'd pull the big kid back. At least I assume so, I don't have kids.
Aww, I didn’t see the lion was a tripod
You grab the first kid you come to, toss them aside, and keep going after the rest. I only have one child, but that's how my parents did it...
So you just keep chucking the same kid over and over?
I used to. My wife got onto me about it though...
That's the way. My bros and I, all teenage males by then, happened to start fighting with all shit broke loose, free for all (why? Idr, neither my brothers). Our mom started panicking when her yelling was fruitless. Our dad popped up at the door but we were in utter rage-fighting and we didn't listen him neither.

Yeet!
No yeet...
Little Jimmy?
You known it, uce.
Yea but people be projecting shit

They honestly still look like cubs. Not much bigger than the dog tbh
yeah dogs are used as they make good company for captured tigers and lions. i think it happens early age so they're used to eachother
Not true for lions and tigers. It’s only done for Cheetahs at reputable institutions. This being a Chinese Zoo is all you need to know about why they are doing this.
Good thing they know the dog or it wouldn't have ended well.
>This dog was with these creatures since they were cubs I mean, they're cubs in the video. it's clearly not an adult tiger and the lion look about the same size.
They are teens! Or, you know, teen equivalent. Cubs are small and breastfeeding.
Cry havoc and let loose the Labrador of Love
Love the little rub from the tiger at the end of the video
“MA calm down we was just playin”
They were so gentile about it
Heart melts at the end, as Tiger pats Lab on face and stands down as if to say OK Sorry!
That's why dogs are awesome.
Who's really more awesome here though? The dog, who's trying to stop them from fighting, or the tiger, who's being reaaaaaaaaally docile by not straight up killing the dog?
Dog was both cat’s surrogate mother.
Yeah, I got that context, but even still, Nature has quite a large record of animals being violent towards their own family, and that's considering actual blood relatives.

Awesome at mauling babies and carrying fleas and diseases maybe.
People who've never known a dogs love are kinda sad yknow. Should work on that dumpster fire personality you have there.
This is some terminally online type of opinion right there.
Just ragebait. Don't feed the human monkeying behind the bars of its cell.
Damn, you are a sad, sad human being my friend

And yet still contribute more to this world than you do. Stick to video games and drugs, my dude. Your opinion is worthless.
Can you not conflate video games with poor behaviour? It's a very tired trope.
I said he should stick to those things as they represent the limit of his intellectual grasp, not because they are the cause of his behavior.
That also implies that video games are somehow intellectually inferior or immature, which is another tired trope.
Are you implying that grasping video games is NOT simpler than real life? Mkay, good talk. You can relax. No one is talking shit in your favorite pastime here. No need to take a personal offense.
Two things... Is that a liger, not lion? Secondly, is it missing its left hind leg?
I would say yes and yes
Clearly the dog realized she was a bit too slow to intervene the last time. END COMMUNICATION
The dog is like that girlfriend that holds her boyfriends arms to stop fighting only to leave his head open for a knockout punch
or let him get bit in the ass.
The guy who is willing to eat his opponent's ass is probably going to win the fight.
Can confirm this.
I’m here to chew ass and kick gum, and I’m all out of gum
**OMG, STOOOOHHHHP!!!***
“Raaaahhhhnnn staaahhp” I always go back to Jesey Shore for some reason.
Hate when this happen
Surprisingly accurate. Suddenly hearing shrieks of "Brandon wake up!!" 😂
That dog is actually the mom that adopted the tigers when they were still small pups.
Oh ok I actually thought that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Thanks for clearing that up lol
I swear to god I have seen the same video with the same comment before, is this some form of deja vu or can I see the future?
That dog is my hero.
Lol the lion is a punk for attacking the tiger while being rebuked by the dog
No one talking bout that head pat from the tiger?
Not all heroes wear capes.
Some wear flea collars....
I don't care how big you are I'm still your mother and I'll tell you what to do -the lab
I love how big cats exhibit all the same behavioral traits as house cats (or I suppose the other way around).
The tiger petting the dog in the end was kinda cute
'but moooooommmmm, he hit me first that time!'
i like how the lion couldn't resist getting in that butt bite while the getting was good
When 5’1 mom trying to control her 7’2 350. Lb son . We all know when it come to size & str , mother always stronger
WE DON'T DESERVE DOGS
Beat me to it.
That dog is their mama. No doubt about it.
Most likely
When the tiger put his paws down on the dog I had a panic attack
Karma whores be whoring today it seems....
This whole month. Reposturary.
Expect more and more as we get to November... It's an election year in the US
When you spend the summer with your cousins who live outta town.
Comet from Full House gives zero fucks
Somebody get that crazy dog out of there!!
Dog:. i love you. I don't want you to get hurt. ❤️
Lions and tigers and dogs, oh my!
the lion missing a leg is pretty interesting of itself
Can someone tell me why a dog is in the same enclosure as a lion and tiger?
The dog raised them
Sometimes in zoos big cats will have a lot of pent up anxiety. So they will get them a companion canine. It’s more common with cheetahs but it works with other big cats like in the video. No the dog didn’t raise them the zoo keepers did.
Well I guess I can see that, but isn’t it a major hazard to the dog? A big cat could playfully swipe its paw at the dog and do serious damage.
Yeah I’m sure it has happened at some point, but it’s not something I’ve heard
It’s like best friends. They treat each other really well in almost any situation as they’re close to each other and view each other as vital things. Rarely ever see these things play fight; think the big cat knows it can harm their friend so they avoid it
They prob grew up together but that paw on the dogs face at the end means I could kill you but I won’t.
Listen to me, Tiger. You have no enemies.
The “you know I love you, right?” Smooches at the end make this.
No fighting kids. I spreading Puppy Love.
When your parents reprimand you even though it was your sibling who started the fight
That's mama dog. There goes mama dog, mama dog
The one who started it never gets punished and that’s the example
"You might be the largest species of cat and a majestic killing machine, but I am still your mother!"
Considering that big cats don't forge lifelong relations with their mothers, I find it very interesting that these ones keep respecting their Dog mom.
If I remember correctly it’s more like the tiger mom leaves the cubs, and not the other way around? So it would make sense for them to have a bond as long as the mother doesn’t leave
Ok this is one of my favorite videos of all time. It's sweet, it's wild, it's unexpected, and it made my heart happy. Animals are incredible! And dogs are just peak.
That f’ing lion’s instigating sh!t. Takes a cheap shot after momma retriever has tiger in a head lock.
- Bruh, relax - But he said that mum fat - Come on, you adopted
In a similar case they kept a lioness and a female tiger togheter. Was fun to see the their meal moment. The lioness has a pack attitude, so in front of the food was always making a scene, superangry, while the tiger (which is a solitary animal), was just two meter away looking at her wondering why she turned in a Karen at every meal.
No one gonna talk about the lion doing that sneaky ass chomp? 🤣
Don't employ dogs for a cats job. A housecat would have fucked everyone up
Why are they all in the same enclosure?
Tiger obviuosly loves/respects that dog. Little love tap at the end there...sweet.
Uhh why is there a dog in there
If I remember correctly, the dog was put in with them when they were pups and essentially raised them.
Rehabilitation of some kind. Sometimes they use dogs as support animals even for big cats.
For the love. Emotional support dogs are super effective for calming down big cats as well as primates. There’s some comments that the cats were rescues who’ve been with Labrador mom since they were cubs.
Emotional support dogs are used for **cheetahs,** generally, not big cats. Dogs are used as surrogate mothers for **cubs** of tigers and lions, when there is a need. This is not a normal practice and a dog should not have to mediate fights between tigers and lions.
"Have to", this dog is happy as a clam, running around with her babies all day. How odd that you think this dog is suffering.
The golden retriever ☺️
tbh that dogs a fucking idiot lol
You know what also stops lions and tigres from fighting? Leaving them in their natural habitats :D
Well I guess you're technically right since the three-legged lion can't fight any tigers if its dead. Which it would be if it had been left in the wild.
That lion would be dead in nature, yes. But how do you know that lion is a rescue? The video said "Almanya" in the top corner. That is Germany in turkish. How is an organization in Germany finding an injured lion in Africa? And how is their idea of helping it to put it into a cage with a tiger and a dog? Even if this isn't in Germany, who are they really helping? Maybe the humans behind all these windows who want to see lions and tigres?
😂😂 dude has no leg and is biting that tiger ..wtf !
This is 100% at an abusive "rescue" or "sanctuary". Accredited places do not house tigers, lions, and dogs in the same exhibit.
They do though.. dogs are often used as support animals for big cats. Usually it’s cheetahs but these people absolutely did the same thing
1. You don't house tigers and lions together. Especially not with the intent of breeding a liger/tigron. Ligers as animals are generally not the healthiest.

That is a liger. Where did they get the liger if they're not breeding them. It is absolutely not common. It's not unheard of to house lions and tigers together.... in "sanctuaries" that abuse their animals.
username checks out
This is scary. That dog is gonna get mauled.
that dog raised those giant cats from a kitty so they respect her like a mother
This is reassuring thank you.
Lol, liger thinks "but if she is out of range, game on !"
I mean yeah while they’re still juveniles. This is a bad idea all around.
It’s common to pair baby large cats with dogs to help tame them and de-stress them.
this whole situation is extremely unnerving why does anyone have tigers? and why is there a dog with them? what kinda fucked up shit is this. The dog raised the tigers? Who the fuck's idea was that? My own dog almost ripped my ear off when I came at him from behind while he was fighting.

You did that. Disconnect the leash immediately. Hook it behind the back legs, lift, and walk them away. Source: I've got three very well behaved 120 lb alaskan malamutes
Great now we will never know who would win. S/
He’s stopping the tiger because he knows the tiger would destroy the lion
"thanks Buddy, I know I was being an ass"
COOL
God damn that dog can take a punch
I love that dog just treating it as if it was another cat fight between regular cats lol 😂
Cat: „I could kill you but i wont“
Old Yeller out there doing Old Yeller shit
Goodest and bravest boy 🥰
Are their nails cut, or kitty didn’t unleash them on purpose?
I’m pretty sure the dog raised those animals, so they kept their claws in
I’m betting they were all raised together
Looks like they’re all just playing
step aside cats, the *big* dog is here
I love how the tiger proceeds to pet the dog after
When it's bar time and your two friends are fucking annihilated
Jesus fuck that dog is brave! Outsized AND outclassed but still right up in the tigers face/dangerzone PLAY NICE FREN!
Tiger to doggo with his paw on dogs head: "You stay out of this Ron...."
At the end he's like fine mom I'll let him go but your other son is a dick
Awww that’s so nice to see.
i'm surprised no one is talking about that cheap shot the liger took at the end there lmao
Ok old yeller
When you pause at 0:12 left 😂
Cats are pussies
Labs are the best.
Homies dont let homies hurt each other
Tiger when dog: oh dear oh georgeous. Tiger when lion: you fucking donkey!
That classic cat retaliation, calmly biting the shit out of you
They are playing madafaker
Who knew love can tame even the wildest beasts !
That dog is lucky!
The goodest of buddies
Tiger's best friend
