Tiger Uses Its Powerful Jaws To Break Cage Lock, Here's What Happens Next

Tigers are regarded as the majestic giants known for their incredible strength and stealth. These apex predators are at the top of their food chain, feared for their formidable hunting skills and muscular prowess. Recently, an intriguing video has emerged where tigers’ awe-inspiring reputation is put to test in an unexpected way.

Shared on Instagram by the Russian page with the moniker Mihail Tiger, the footage captures a tiger in a cage, grappling with a cage lock. Using its tongue with surprising precision, the tiger attempts to get a grip of the lock. The tiger then uses its powerful jaws, seemingly making a serious effort to break free. It also uses its paw to push the cage door in an attempt to open it. The video transitions to the scene where the tiger is seen emerging from the cage, leaving viewers in suspense about whether it actually managed to escape from the cage on its own or not.

Since being posted a week ago, the video has collected more than 1 million views. The striking display for tiger’s raw power has certainly captured the internet’s attention and left people both astonished and intrigued.

Here’s how people reacted in the comment section:

One user commented, “Animals are smarter than you think,” while another chimed in with, “Wow! What a clever tiger!”

On a more cautious note, a commenter wrote, “I hope he didn’t swallow the lock.”

Another user remarked, “No way he broke that lock bro im not going to the zoo nooo more.”

Meanwhile, someone humourously commented, “If dogs can do it I don’t see why a tiger wouldn’t be able to lol.”

The video also sparked debate about animal captivity. One user in frustration, wrote, “What the H ….. I honestly think these animals should not be locked up,” and another added, “Prisoning animals is not good.”

Someone else also commented, “We love them but they need freedom. We shouldn’t put them in prison.”

“I understand they are captive, and probably couldn’t survive in the wild otherwise,

but I just really hope they are treated well,” a person expressed.

Tigers always manage to fascinate us with their behaviours. A week ago, a viral video from a zoo in eastern China had emerged that showcased interaction between a tiger and toddler.

In the clip, the child stands in front of the tiger’s glass enclosure, making playful gestures and funny faces. In response, the tiger mimics the child’s actions, creating a playful visual.
