    the trust between that man and the tiger is nuts, she is completely okay with him present when she’s at her most vulnerable…amazing
  • @virgilpine9712
    That man must have a very close relationship with Kaitlyn. He's petting her at the same time that her defenseless cubs are minutes old. I mean, her maternal instincts to protect her cubs must be surging at full force, yet, she does nothing to the man. There must be a very close bond between them.
  • @Labgorilla
    The fact that she allowed him to be there must be a magical feeling for him.
  • @carineii6747
    That man is so lucky and privileged to have such an amazing and majestic animal trust him that way. It is truly mind-blowing.
  • @u_luintel
    Now imagine a bunch of tigers watching human giving birth
  • @rebeccans7729
    Gosh, mothers of every species. What an incredible honour it is to give life. There is so much strength in it. To immediately have those instincts, too. It’s so beautiful. God bless mothers everywhere ❤️

    3:05 Her face when she realises there is second one 😂 Also the second one was like AAH, What is this?Get me out of here
  • @huxley8671
    First Cub : Hi Mama, thanks for helping me out Second Cub : MOVE OUTTA THE WAY IMMA BIRTH MYSELF OUT
  • @Verlant99
    I'm literally sitting here cheering on a Tiger that gave birth years ago.
  • @unicornman147
    It's incredible on both sides. Him, for being in close quarters with an apex predator. Her, for letting him be in her presence at her most vulnerable. Clearly there is a special bond between these two, and they trust each other deeply. It's beautiful.
  • It's just so surprising that she's literally letting him sit so close and then even to pet her afterwards, so beautiful
  • @Drago.23
    the second one probably kicked the first one out
  • I’m not crying, you’re crying, lol. Amazing that she let the keeper pet her just having given birth. I was really worried for the first cub, thinking how would they get in there to help if it didn’t breathe on it’s own. Thankfully that didn’t happen. I hope they both grew up healthy and strong.
  • First cub: gugu gaga 👶. Second cub: hi everyone my name is John😎.
  • @beback_
    I like how the first one was a huge deal but the second just kinda pooped out.
  • @e.o9470
    Tigers are the most fascinating and beautiful things i’ve ever seen in my life.😍
  • The trust between the two is amazing. This just so the respect and love that had been given to this beautiful tiger. This is how it should ALWAYS be. Respect animals..

    First cub: I glad to be out, I'll sleep till I'm ready to talk. Second cub: my name is Kirikou
