Looks like a Varsity Ball by Dean & Tyler. They’re advertised as indestructible. Only ball my parent’s bulldog couldn’t rip apart. I recall their website talking about donating a number of them to zoos for enrichment because they could stand up to big cats, rhinos, buffalo, etc.
As a former tiger trainer, they are afraid of the weirdest things. I had one that was afraid of snowflakes. She would hide in her house, poke her head out and roar at the sky. Meanwhile, her sister would be running around catching them in her mouth. I gave a different tiger the cardboard box from a washing machine. She curled up in the corner and kept hissing at it until I removed it. I used a clicker while training most of them, but I had one boy who would flinch at the sound, so I changed to whistling when he performed the correct behavior. I had one boy who would not put his front paws in the swimming pool. He would back into the pool and keep his paws up on the ledge.
That's the point!
Hug the ball. Float with the ball. Relax with the ball.
But when it's time, I bet that tiger is no less terrifying than any other.
Yeah I mean the gif still very much proves the point of the quote haha
Must be one tough ass ball to handle that caliber of murder mittens.

The tiger in me is trying to hunt a diced chicken dinner

That's hilarious.
Why are these murder machines so cute???
For some reason, I thought they used Clash Royale menu music for sound. I’m deeply disappointed.
'..That's neat, that's neat I really love your tiger feet ..'. :)
How’d you find footage of me?!
Haha tiger's so chill in the water with its big red ball
