Shosho the Siberian tiger leaps up to swat a box of his favourite cereal from keeper Ashley Gombert, in this heartwarming display of affection. Shosho, who weighs 40 stone and can reach eight-foot when standing on his hind legs, shared a kiss and cuddle with Ashley and the pair even had a dip together in a nearby creek, close to Shosho's home at the Seaview Lion Park near Port Elizabeth.
Despite being well over six-foot tall himself, Ashley, 35 from Port Elizabeth, who describes himself as a tiger wrangler, is dwarfed by the big cat.
