Tiger snuggles up to pregnant woman's belly at Indiana zoo
Published in Weird News
(UPI) A tiger made its way to the glass outside its enclosure at an Indiana zoo to snuggle up to a pregnant woman's belly.
Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend shared video of the curious tiger affectionately rubbing itself up against the glass near Natasha Handshoe's pregnant belly.
"We went to the Wine on the Wild Side event and this beautiful tiger knew that my cousin Natasha Handshoe was pregnant!" Handshoe's cousin Brittany Osborne, who captured video of the encounter, said. The tiger was snuggling with her baby bump! It was the sweetest moment!
The tiger carefully approached the glass, as Handshoe had her back turned and Osborne wondered if the animal was able to tell she was pregnant.
"I began filming her because I thought it would be entertaining. Then we all realized that the tiger was very interested in her baby bump," Osborne told Fox 59.
Handshoe then turned her belly toward the glass and the tiger remained very interested in the bump.
"I do believe the tiger knew I was pregnant just by the way it was acting," she said.
Potawatomi Zoo was delighted by the experience and thanked Osborne for capturing the footage.
"This is why the Zoo is here -- to help make connections to nature!" the zoo wrote on Facebook.
