It’s the most ferocious animals that sometimes have the softest hearts. Who knew that tigers were appreciators of music? Musician Plumes has touched so many hearts with a video of him serenading tigers at Refuge de L’Arche in France. The animals were really responding to him! In fact, at one point they joined in with the singer. It really was so amazing.

Music is so powerful. It not only touches us humans, but it clearly had an effect on the tigers, who were totally digging Plumes’ tune.

Tigers can seem so scary on the outside, but judging by the video they can be so gentle too. Maybe it was the music that they were listening to that really soothed them. At first they were cautious of the musician, but slowly they came close to check out his delightful tune.

This was so incredible. It’s not every day that tigers get a show at their enclosure. It’s no wonder that they were curious. They had to see where this beautiful music was coming from!

“​​When she starts singing at the end,” the singer swooned in the video’s caption. And it’s true! It’s like they were doing a duet.

When tigers are as sweet as this, it honestly makes them seem like regular cats. Which is something the comments section noticed too and couldn’t stop joking about.

“Tiger’s POV: ‘This food sounds so good,’” teased one commenter.

“YOU GOT A SLOW BLINK FROM A TIGER,” someone else praised.

“Aww he exposed his tummy, the ultimate cat trust sign,” chimed in another person.

“I think they wanted belly scritches,” one commenter quipped.

Signs That a Tiger Is Friendly

This is solid proof that tigers contain multitudes. Well, they contain more emotions than we give them credit for. Tigers can sometimes even be friendly! Here is one way you can tell when a tiger is feeling social.

One of the best ways to tell how a tiger is feeling is by the sounds they make. A happy, friendly tiger will make a sound called chuffing, which is a soft, puffing sound they use to show they’re feeling affectionate.

These guys were definitely feeling the love for Plumes. These are some very happy tigers!
