Tigers are usually known to be quite vicious animals in the wild and famous for their scary roars... but not this baby tiger!

 

 

A baby tiger at a Siberian City zoo recently gained online fame when a video of him “singing” to gain attention was uploaded online.

 

The eight-month-old Amur tiger named Sherhan was recorded in the zoo in Barnaul making high pitch sounds that made it seem like it was singing.

 

 

The zoo ensured that the tiger is not in pain and it made the high pitch sound because it was trying to get his mother’s attention.

 

Zoo officials also said that tiger's vocal chords are “not designed for such high-pitched notes” and that it’s a sign that it’s going through the tiger version of puberty.

 

Sherhan is said to have been singing almost since he was born and uses his unique “talent” to outshine his siblings for his mom’s attention.

 

 

“The cub is feeling very well indeed, his throat is not hurting. This is the call he used since very early after birth to distract his mother from all other cubs, and grab her attention.”

 

He was among one of the four cubs that were born back in July 2020 and they are a part of the Amur tiger species that once faced extinction.

 

 

Being the world’s largest cats, the Amur tigers are slowly regaining their population with about 600 living in the far east side of Russia.
