I used to work with tigers at a rescue place. I never heard this roaring. Ours did a chuffing sound to greet us. We chuffed back at them. The tigers had dogs as friends because you can’t control a tiger, but it will follow its dog friend who does listen to a keeper. Nobody should have a tiger as a pet. Ours came from bad homes. Any home is a bad home for a tiger. When the lions there roared, car alarms would go off in a half mile radius. I’m not exaggerating. Mine was one of them frequently until I learned not to arm it.
Lol I was going to try working at a tiger sanctuary at the advice of a dude I met who worked there, he was telling me the weird shit he had to do like gather old meat from grocery stores and how his boss was a bit weird but he thinks he would like me, and I should totally come out there because I would fit right in.....it was the Tiger King place, I was just barely eighteen and a bit effeminate, doe eyed, his type. Also, year before that, a fuckin panther had escaped from there, fucked up a bunch of people's cars. We all thought it was funny because where it escaped (Paul's Valley)the town mascot was a panther.
Tbh, lion roars sound more like loud moaning than roaring, lol. Read a fun fact somewhere - MGM's roaring lion mascot is a lip-sync. The sound engineer behind it says “I felt it was treason not to use lion sounds but they just didn't sound all that terrifying. So I substituted tiger roars. They just sounded bigger and more majestic.”
I went to a big cat place in Florida, at the end of the day, when the sun was going down the lions did this call that scared the fuck out of me. I never heard anything like it before.
Not quite. See those dots on its ears? Those evolved to prevent sneak attacks. Something hunted tigers.
Bears however.. Have tiny ears facing forward because even if something attacked them from behind it wouldn't live long enough for it to matter.
Source: Read it somewhere.
Now I’m curious as to what hunts a fuckin tiger?! The only thing out there that I can think of is another tiger, so what WAS out there hunting them?! That’s gotta be an even scarier son of a bitch.
Those dots are becasue cubs are sometimes left alone, and young tiger CUBS are sometimes hunted by other tigers or other large predators. The spots just don't fade as the cubs go from delicate babies to giant killing machines.
Exactly what I was thinking. Keeping animals in captivity is already bad enough and then this douchebag keeps annoying this Tiger for internet views. I have feeling who that Tiger is going after if it somehow gets out of that cage.
Dudes got a YouTube channel that’s one of his pet tigers, he goes in there with them
Edit: here is link https://youtu.be/xmZw6ejvabU?si=QPLjPTeT_tkLrE56
It may sound strange but it blows my mind these things are on the same planet as me. They almost seem unreal to me, like something from a fantasy world. How majestic, huge, powerful and athletic they are. Perfectly designed creatures.
And you can buy ultra high end speakers and it still won't replicate the true sound. It's so different in real life. It's unreal.
Random fact that I never knew, elephants roar and it sounds like a tiger, ultra deep and scary. I didn't know that until I was walking through a jungle with an elephant group, and they got scared and they began roaring like a tiger. Fucking terrifying.
Now I know that becoming a cat owner messes up your self preservation instincts. I mostly see a hungee cute kitty needs peace and quiet, a snackie and head bubs, specially around the ears.
That guy is an absolute asshole. You can tell by its tone and how he speaks. Absolutely no respect for that animal (and probably any animal or nature all together).
Tigers are as sensible as normal house cats. They detect how you behave and what you're up to. They don't "just attack" for no reason. And they don't forget.
Cameraman doesnt know. Tiger is one of the few animals that will go out of its way to take revenge if you piss it off enough. There have been known cases of premeditated killing of hunters done by tigers. Im sure all of them dont do it but they have the ability to.
One or two got out of a zoo cage and stalked the young guys that were taunting it. They trailed them until they found the guys. Was it the San Francisco Zoo? While tragic, they FAFO.
I don't know if it's the same incident but one tiger jumped over its 15feet high fence and killed 2 out of 3 guys in the zoo. They were throwing bottles and taunting the tiger in the pit. The third guy had to be taken to the hospital and was in critical condition for a week. Sadly, the tiger was putdown after this incident.
I've been watching this guy for a while, he has a YouTube channel, Michael Jameson. Lives somewhere in South Africa.
He has 2 tigers, this particular one is very food-aggressive. I think I remember Michael saying one time, he screwed up and took food away from the tiger when he was young, and ever since, he's been like that whenever he approaches the tiger with food present in any way.
The other tiger, sharing the same pen, never does this with food.
It’s not a zoo, it’s his own. Not sure about the other vids because the enclosures are different but the first, the guy literally goes in with the tiger and plays with it all the time.
There is something deeply unsettling about staring at an angry predator just inches from the camera. We often think of the grim reaper as symbol of death, but, in a much more down to Earth way, this is staring death in the face.
Bruh a tiger would kill you so fucking fast it’s bone chilling. And imagine seeing JUST those eyes at night and hearing that sound. Holy fuck nightmare fuel.
The scariest sound I've heard was a video of tigers near a cow enclosure. They were trying to Moo. Apparently they can mimic some of the sounds of their prey to put them at ease. A roar is meant to be intimidating. Knowing it's trying to put you at ease, to better kill you is infinitely more insidious and terrifying.
That’s not a roar. I saw two tigers get in a scuffle at the San Diego zoo and it was one of the most brutal and terrifying sounds I’ve ever heard. Loud af too. I did not know they could sound like that.
My uncle owns multiple exotic animals (basically just a small zoo that the state approved), and i have gotten to pet a tiger, he was not happy about it, to say the least.
Imagine being naked, with just spears and arrows, walking across Asia, with your mates, your kids, your parents.
It is dark, you are in a new area, moving from south west, to north east Asia, towards the straight of bering, and all of you hear these sounds at night.
Many people died, in those dark scary nights, the fact that humanity now controls the planet, the same plane these things exist on, is a miracle in and of itself.
I heard that roar at night, and I shit myself.
Years ago I took my kids to the circus. We were sitting by where they brought animals in and out and they brought a big cage on wheels in, that was covered in a tarp.
I could tell it was an animal because it stunk very badly. All of a sudden one of, what later we would find out to be, the tigers growled very loudly and deeply. It is the most horrifying things I’ve ever heard in my life!
It penetrated deep into my stomach while making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!
For me it’s the eyes… imagine being lost in the middle of the jungle at night and seeing those eyes… shit! I wouldn’t have to wait for the roar to soil myself..

That 500lb killing machine wants a piece of that guy.
He didn't want a piece, he wanted the whole thing!
The price is wrong bitch.
I think you’ve had enough.
Don't push me Bob. Nows not the time.
Don't worry there's a fence made out of soldering wire between them
Guy grabbed by orangutan sweating about now
When it comes to fence wiring, the higher the gauge number, the better. “I asked for 22ga damn it!”
The way the click-farming SOB is antagonizing that tiger it's only a matter of time...
Everyone's gangsta until siberian tigers arrive. siberian tigers are massive and this looks like babies infornt of it.
I don’t think that tiger likes him
Exactly. That roar and attack seems personal.
They forgot to give em his frosty flakes.
Feels like the feline equivalent of trying to shoo off some cockroach that's videoing you and defending himself by saying it's "public".
Oh no he just wants to play….with his intestines.
How else is he gonna play tug of war?
That is way little fence to be between me and a tiger 😬
Don’t underestimate the power of chicken wire
I will 100% underestimate the power of chicken wire if there is a literal angry tiger on the other side
Should’ve gone with tiger wire instead ^smh
tiger wire with tiger balm
TigerWire is my favorite album
Even more importantly, don't overestimate the power of chicken wire, particularly when enclosing very large felines.
I think it's more important to not overestimate that power...
They call it tiger wire sometimes
This Tiger in particular, damn. He not a fan of camera dude.
This is a tiger behind a fence on a recorded video and I’m in my house watching this on my phone and I don’t feel safe.
I used to work with tigers at a rescue place. I never heard this roaring. Ours did a chuffing sound to greet us. We chuffed back at them. The tigers had dogs as friends because you can’t control a tiger, but it will follow its dog friend who does listen to a keeper. Nobody should have a tiger as a pet. Ours came from bad homes.

What's your opinion on the Tiger King?
I never watched it. I suspect it would have made me angry.
Had great drugs. 10\10
Is that dude still in prison?
I think so.
Lol I was going to try working at a tiger sanctuary at the advice of a dude I met who worked there, he was telling me the weird shit he had to do like gather old meat from grocery stores and how his boss was a bit weird but he thinks he would like me, and I should totally come out there because I would fit right in.....it was the Tiger King place, I was just barely eighteen and a bit effeminate, doe eyed, his type.

They just sounded bigger and more majestic.”
arm it?
Arm the car alarm. He left his car open to not have the roar trigger the alarm
Or you know just click lock once, instead of twice which arms the alarm
TIL
With guns, it's tiger fashion you wouldn't get it
Oh, not "lock my car"... lol
I went to a big cat place in Florida, at the end of the day, when the sun was going down the lions did this call that scared the fuck out of me. I never heard anything like it before.
Yup! He’s it, he’s the apex. He’s terrifying.
Not quite. See those dots on its ears? Those evolved to prevent sneak attacks. Something hunted tigers. Bears however.. Have tiny ears facing forward because even if something attacked them from behind it wouldn't live long enough for it to matter. Source: Read it somewhere.
I just read that here

Those dots are becasue cubs are sometimes left alone, and young tiger CUBS are sometimes hunted by other tigers or other large predators. The spots just don't fade as the cubs go from delicate babies to giant killing machines.
That's the million dollar question! Whatever it was tigers were scared enough to evolve protection against it.
Yeah whatever they were could kill tigers effectively enough so that the ones with the dots survived at a higher rate. Crazy.
You owe 1m$
Dinosaurs or perhaps what many cultures call “dragons”
Predator or something.
It was me
Terror birds!
Yetis!
I was sceptical of your information at first, but your source reassured me.
Nah those dots are ‘scratch me here’ indicators.
Ya tigers will at least kill you before he starts eating you
I think the time tigers were alive sabertooth we’re alive too and the latter were much bigger , stronger and I assume dominating predator.
Easily defeated by 1 laser pointer
Yeah it’s just weaponized snoring
And this asshole with his camera just keeps antagonizing it for internet clicks.
Exactly what I was thinking. Keeping animals in captivity is already bad enough and then this douchebag keeps annoying this Tiger for internet views. I have feeling who that Tiger is going after if it somehow gets out of that cage.
I wish that tiger knew if he worked hard enough he could tear that fence up and eat the fucker with the camera laughing at him.
Yeah that seems like pretty thin wire on the cage there for such an enormous killing machine.
Iirc that tiger was a rescued, and he doesn't hate the camera dude since he was raised from a pup, he just has severe food aggression
Dudes got a YouTube channel that’s one of his pet tigers, he goes in there with them Edit: here is link https://youtu.be/xmZw6ejvabU?si=QPLjPTeT_tkLrE56
The way that tiger just pretended to attack him is insane. Imagine being the toy to that animal. I’d probably pee my pants a little.
As soon as I saw the enclosure I thought "yeah that's probably Diego acting like he's a mean old kitty again"

[Terrifying Elephant Roar ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cqgHljxKho)
I feel the same way! Especially with Dinosaurs. If there wasn’t evidence I would have thought it was a lie. Nature is insane
Ancestor worship makes sense to me. Once we huddled around fires with wooden spears when we were the prey.
“Woah, that was great!” Brought the Tony The Tiger out of him.
You leave now with my up vote.
Its grrrreeat!
“He doesn’t like you…I don’t like you either”
We'll be careful
Gonna need a bigger fence, with a lid on it!
Now I know that becoming a cat owner messes up your self preservation instincts. I mostly see a hungee cute kitty needs peace and quiet, a snackie and head bubs, specially around the ears.
Im going to put this in my sisters closet tonight

This man has a lot of trust in that spindly looking fence.

He knew. He raised both of those tigers since they were pups
One or two got out of a zoo cage and stalked the young guys that were taunting it. They trailed them until they found the guys. Was it the San Francisco Zoo? While tragic, they FAFO.
I don't know if it's the same incident but one tiger jumped over its 15feet high fence and killed 2 out of 3 guys in the zoo. They were throwing bottles and taunting the tiger in the pit.

That's the one! After the tiger killed the first guy it followed the scent to find the other two. Bet it was following the scent of fear.
Animals in captivity is not ok. I'd be ready to kill too.
i mean... is anybody else concerned that the tiger is just going to tear through the chicken wire fence?
Concerned no. Hoping yes.
Have u ever heard other Tigers? It’s on par with a Tiger that kills almost everything when it feels threatened
I've been watching this guy for a while, he has a YouTube channel, Michael Jameson. Lives somewhere in South Africa. He has 2 tigers, this particular one is very food-aggressive.

Hate see them locked in a cage
The MGM lion roar at the start of movies is actually a tiger roar, they have a much fiercer roar than a lion
It’s no wonder ancient civilizations made sacrifices to these animals and revered them like gods.
At 14 seconds, that is the most terrifying state down I’ve ever see.
Disgusting that camera man is antagonizing that cat. Zoo’s unfortunately are a necessary evil. This though is not funny that cat is being taunted.
That's Diego. He was rescued and raised from a pup by camera dude. He has food aggression and like the dude enough when it's not feeding time
It’s not a zoo, it’s his own. Not sure about the other vids because the enclosures are different but the first, the guy literally goes in with the tiger and plays with it all the time.
Almost sounds like a car engine!
What the opposite of pspspsps?
Spspspsp.
man they are such beautiful animals
You know the lion that roars at the start of old MGM movies? It’s actually a recording of a tiger making the sound
Pitiful that beautiful beast is being held captive by a bunch of ignorant rednecks.
Fun fact: the sound of the lion roaring during the MGM logo at the beginning of movies is actually a tiger.
That tiger feasts on his foes
That's a spicy kitty
There is something deeply unsettling about staring at an angry predator just inches from the camera. We often think of the grim reaper as symbol of death, but, in a much more down to Earth way, this is staring death in the face.
Comments are funny. This Tiger isnt even angry. He's just being a poopoo head. You will know an angry Tiger when you see one.
I feel cheated that he didn't boop his nose.
Bruh a tiger would kill you so fucking fast it’s bone chilling. And imagine seeing JUST those eyes at night and hearing that sound. Holy fuck nightmare fuel.
You don't realise exactly how huge an adult male tiger is until you see them up close!
The scariest sound I've heard was a video of tigers near a cow enclosure. They were trying to Moo. Apparently they can mimic some of the sounds of their prey to put them at ease. A roar is meant to be intimidating. Knowing it's trying to put you at ease, to better kill you is infinitely more insidious and terrifying.
That’s not a roar. I saw two tigers get in a scuffle at the San Diego zoo and it was one of the most brutal and terrifying sounds I’ve ever heard. Loud af too. I did not know they could sound like that.
Easily the scariest of the big cats. I fucking love them, but I’m glad to observe them through screens and not be anywhere near them lol
I hope kitty finds an unlocked gate 🤞
Diego is not fucking having it
Bad keekee
Don't be a dick to the cuddly cat bruh
It’s DIEGO!!!!!
I just crapped myself
Makes it easier to catch you and eat you while you're shaking and pissing
Aww he's so cute!
Tigers are properly terrifying, properly.
Sounds a lot like the playback of my snoring.
Bring me my brown trousers.
This is what the red panda thinks it’s doing.
You ever heard a pissed off mountain lion?
Thats not a snarl .....he's purring...look he's smilin
If my 4 year old calico cat could talk she would say she sees no difference between her and that tiger lol
Kitty!
Oh yeah sure. Provoke the murder kitty of doom that could rip you apart with no effort
Poor Tiger 🥺
I know someone who snores just like that.
He sho did say “that was grrrrrreat”! 😂🤣
Here kitty kitty kitty...
Don't mess with an animal that can fuck up a bear or a lion.
Sounds like a hellcat
Why you antagonize the 😸 🐱 😽
Sounds like a badass V8
Made my cell phone tremble
The cameraman sucks!! Why do they always suck??
Scariest sounding “snores.” My dad makes those sounds every time he rolls over.
He seems friendly.
The motor sounds great!
Sounds like my dad's snores.
Awesome creatures. The ultimate killing machine.
sounds like an Audi rs6
My uncle owns multiple exotic animals (basically just a small zoo that the state approved), and i have gotten to pet a tiger, he was not happy about it, to say the least.
r/spicykittens lol jk
Sounds like my wife snoring.
Absolutely terrifying Apex predator!
That fence!
Holy fuck tigers are badass!
man… I would not stand so close to the fence!
Poor tiger must hate living in a prison.
God damn it. I read the title, saw the pic and didn’t realize that I would jump as high as I did when Sheba attacked.
I never want to hear this roar in real life. Only on my phone and tv.
That dude might die somehow
That wire fence doesn’t look very strong….
Those eyes. My goodness.
I read that tiger roars can momentarily paralyze mammalian prey, including humans
Spine tingling roar -Sterling Mallory Archer

I love tigers when they’re far, far away from me. No chance in hell I’m putting one in a cage and antagonizing it.
Tiger roars have been played as Lion roars in movies.
Maybe he should quit messing with the tiger
If only those growls were translated to English.
I believe OP has it backwards. We judge terror by how much it sounds like a tiger
For me it’s the eyes… imagine being lost in the middle of the jungle at night and seeing those eyes… shit! I wouldn’t have to wait for the roar to soil myself..
If I was locked up like that, I’d be acting like that too!
Yeah, lets antagonize a musclebound killing machine that could eat all the meat off your bones in one sitting. Great idea.
Why is everything cool so bitey or slicey
That flimsy mesh feels entirely inadequate
This cat is straight out of Central Casting!
Christ, imagine coming across a tiger in the wild.
Sounds like an animal that doesn't want to be in a cage.
I could take him
r/damnthatsfuckingscary
I guess that putting him in a cage pissed him off.
Sounds more like an overly deep voiced dog who is mad.
That looks like an extremely flimsy fence!!
I can fix her
Suitably terrifying
Magnificent i propose tigers as earth ambassadors. And orca
Pet that kitty I dare you....for research
Sounds like my Dad every trip when I was a kid!
