YouTuber’s Fake Tiger Prank Startles Animals, Videos Go Viral
A Thai YouTuber pulled off a cheeky prank on animals and the internet was left laughing at their reactions.
The YouTuber, who runs the channel "Angel Naga," raked up millions of views in merely a few days after he posted videos of him pranking cats, dogs and monkeys with a faux tiger.
In a video posted on Nov. 9, a few cats and dogs became the target of the prankster as he approached them wearing a fake tiger head. In the video, a cat sleeping on stairs ran for its life after seeing the tiger approach, while a dog looked at the faux predator head in disbelief.
The video has garnered over 2 million views on YouTube so far. Several people took to the comment section to say how funny it was, while others wondered how the city-dwelling animals learned to perceive a tiger as a threat.
"Some of these animals have never seen a tiger let alone a big cat. So their reaction must stem from instinct when their ancestors dealt with such threats constantly," one person wrote in the comment.
In another video, posted on Nov. 6, the YouTuber is seen stealthily placing the stuffed tiger next to unsuspecting animals who get spooked by it.
The video, which has so far gained a whopping 4 million views, shows terrified monkeys jumping up and quickly running away and a dog being startled awake at the sight of the apex predator.
At the end of both the videos, the YouTuber was seen feeding the stray animals in an attempt to compensate for the mean pranks played on them.
"I love to watch end part after funny moments... thanks for feeding them," one user wrote in a comment section, while another commented saying, "I was laughing then suddenly i cried at the end of this video. Because this video was made to feed them. They look really cute, innocent. Thanks bro for providing food to these poor dogs."
The videos also made rounds on other social media platforms, gathering a barrage of views and comments from amused viewers.
