Among the many videos and photos highlighting man-animal conflict, comes this refreshing video that is sure to make your day because it's not often we get to see the fun, relaxed or even curious side of tigers.?
Putting our curiosity about tigers¡¯ curiosity to an end is the following video of a white tiger that is going viral.?
It was shared on Twitter by IFS Susanta Nanda and features a white Bengal tiger playing with¡ or attempting to play with a stick. The video was shared with the caption- ¡®There is no cure for curiosity....¡¯
The video starts with the adorable tiger trying to lift the stick which is clearly too big to be taken into the big cat's enclosure. Nevertheless, the tiger¡¯s interest in the pole is piqued and it continuously tries to bring it inside its enclosure.?
A couple of time it manages to hold the pole in its mouth but since the tiger is trying to hold it through the length of the pole, it keeps falling down. The time and location of the video are not known but it sure does bring out the other side of these wild beasts.?
While this White Bengal tiger gets to explore the ¡®possibilities¡¯ around it, not every tiger is that lucky.?
In contrast is the heart-wrenching video, reportedly from China. It went viral some time ago and sheds light on the conditions of animals who are kept in zoos, a place where they barely have any room to walk let alone run.
The video shows a captive tiger, apparently depressed, walking non-stop, endlessly in circles inside its enclosure. A circular mark can be seen etched on the ground as the tiger barely has any place to walk.

According to one report the Beijing Zoo said that the tiger had been given ¡®psychological counselling¡¯ after its keepers 'noticed the strange behavior at the end of March¡¯.
Some horrified animal lovers commented online: ¡®There is not enough room [for the tiger]. It¡¯s ill, mentally ill,¡¯ while another one said, ¡®The tiger looks depressed.¡¯
