What the Internet Had to Say
Questions and Concerns
After the video went viral, the comment section was flooded with questions and reactions. Some users were genuinely curious about how the tiger ended up in the home, while others expressed concerns about safety and legality. One user, @phumelelekhumalo1, joked, “Is this safe, Mahle? Is this even legal, Zandi? 😂♥️ I’m stressing out just thinking about it!”
Another user, @sam_madgass, summed up the collective confusion by asking, “Ok, why is there a baby tiger in your house?” Meanwhile, @btw_the_name_is_fiks hilariously commented, “If the Americans see this, they’ll lose their minds 😭😭😭.”
Words of Caution
Not everyone was amused, though. Some users took the opportunity to educate others about the dangers of domesticating wild animals.

In fact, tigers are known for eating their owners!”
@perceverancegadebe added a humorous yet thought-provoking comment: “I have so many questions, but then I heard the dog’s name is Bushiri 😩😩😩😩😩.” Meanwhile, @isaiah_m20 playfully remarked, “One day is one day. This tiger is just too cute! 🥹”
