Hi guys, welcome back to my channel.
I'm here with Jai today,
which if you guys are new to my channel, go back.
I've actually made a couple of videos with Jai,
but of course this is a tiger video.
We just found some old footage from about five months ago
and it's good footage.
So I'm super excited to share it with you.
And at the very end of this video,
I'm gonna show you what one of those tigers looks like today.
I can't bring all of them in the pool and hold all of them
because they're so big now.
But stay tuned all the way to the end of the video
to see how big they are now.
I do get a lot of questions as to why I'm always in the pool
with the animals.
And it's because it's fun, right?
Everyone loves the pool.
It's great enrichment for them.
It cools them off.
It's great exercise and it also cleans them up.
So I love it in the pool.
And every animal that I brought in here, look at her.
She's having so much fun.
Yeah.
Good girl.
But that's probably enough of this little Gibbon girl
because you guys came here to see some tigers.
Hey guys, welcome back to my channel.
We're here at this,
under the pool was actually built originally
for Bubbles the elephant.
She's 9,000 pounds.
She's nine feet tall.
So this is actually 12 feet deep in the center,
but we can actually walk around the edge.
And this is where people watch myself,
Cody Antle and Safari Sibling.
We get in the pool with these giant tigers
and we come and play.
On the other side of the glass
is where all of the guests sit.
Today, I'm gonna bring you guys along
while we swim four beautiful tiger babies.
They are perfect at swimming right now.
They're still pretty young.
So we're gonna do it slow
and just make sure that they're comfortable
and happy in the pool.
Tigers love water.
They don't care if it's hot.
They don't care if it's cold.
They'll break through ice in the middle of the winter
to get into water.
They love it so much.
And they'll swim for miles when they're adults.
Let's go get them.
You ready?
All right, guys, here she comes.
She's coming with a beautiful little tiger kid.
Oh my goodness.
Look at this tiger giving some tiger love right there.
All the loves and hugs and kisses.
All the loves and hugs.
Now, Moksha, what is his or her name?
This is three-month-old Karuna.
Hi.
And we got three more siblings
that are gonna come out and play with you.
Awesome, I cannot wait.
So this is what Moksha does on a day-to-day basis, right?
This is my life.
It'll be 20 years this coming March.
Absolutely amazing.
That I moved in with all these beautiful tigers
and orangutans and chimps, all kinds of crazy cool stuff.
So awesome.
You ready to get in?
I'm ready.
All right, let's go.
Always ready.
Let's go.
Moksha, going in.
Going in.
These beauties in the pool and their play.
They're gonna have so much fun today.
Oh, you're having too much fun already, huh?
There goes one.
There he goes.
Oh, Jacob!
Hey guys, it's Jacob Fetter.
What are you doing here?
I'm tired, I just swam from Miami.
If you guys have not seen Jacob Fetter's channel,
head over there.
He's got some amazing stuff going on.
You ready to play?
I'm ready.
Let's go, guys.
Let's go.
And three girls.
Yeah, one boy and three tiger boys.
Oh, he's in trouble, isn't he?
He is in trouble.
He is surrounded by little girls.
Oh my gosh.
Now guys, this is absolutely amazing
to actually be in the presence of these animals.
And guys, if you did not know,
with tigers, all their stripes are different.
Just like a human's fingerprint,
all tigers are different.
You wanna nibble on me?
Look at these guys play.
Tigers play by biting each other
as hard as they possibly can
and see who can hold onto who the longest.
Exactly.
Before one of them gets annoyed with each other.
I mean, so amazing.
You probably played a similar game with your sister.
She beats me up a lot, actually.
These are just babies, right?
They're super playful.
This is all they do.
They wake up, they play with each other,
and then they go back to bed.
These guys sleep 18 to 22 hours a day.
It doesn't matter if they're a baby
or if they're an adult.
That's what they do.
Yeah, 18 to 22 hours a day of these tigers swimming.
Right now, it's just before their nap time.
We're bringing them out to the pool to relax,
have a good time in the water.
And as you can see, guys,
they are just absolutely loving it.
This is one of my very favorite things
in the whole wide world,
getting out with these tiger cubs
and playing with them in the water.
They're so good at it.
And they can float.
A lot of the time, they'll just stop swimming
and just float.
It's amazing.
These guys are built for swimming.
People have seen some crazy things with tigers.
One big female tiger made a kill in the water
and a crocodile stole the kill from it.
Well, she had worked so hard for that kill.
So she went back to land,
thought about it for a minute,
went back in the water,
battled the crocodile,
and got her kill back.
That's insane.
An entirely different female named Machli
started becoming a crocodile killer.
Wild tiger famous for killing crocodiles.
These guys are athletes.
Yeah!
So not only are these guys absolutely spectacular on land,
they're unbelievable in the water.
They can go after animals that are built for the water.
Look how crazy you are.
Are you having so much fun?
You ready to go swim?
Let's go.
You guys enjoyed this video
as much as we enjoyed making it.
We had so much fun in the pool today.

Look how big baby Bodhi has gotten.
It's been five and a half months
since we filmed that beautiful video
of them playing together.
Can you believe it?
These guys gain about half a pound to a pound a day
for the first year of their life.
Especially the boys,
because he's going to get so much bigger
than his sisters are.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
