In the clip, a group of cast members gathered around the tiger cub’s enclosure to watch him come out. As soon as he did, the employees could hardly contain themselves upon seeing the baby animal. Who could blame them? He’s just so precious! However, if you can believe it, things got even more adorable a moment later.
Bakso quickly toddled over to his mother, attempting to tackle her in an affectionate hug. Unfortunately, this tiny cub was way too small to knock over an adult tiger. So, the little guy settled for some cuddles instead. How sweet is that?
As it turns out, this tiger cub has the perfect name.
Over four million people have watched this video on social media. Some commenters pointed out that the tiger cub had received the best name ever.
“To make this even cuter Bakso is the Indonesian word for meatball,” one user wrote. “He’s just a whittle meatball.”
Well, we all know what happens when you name a baby animal after food. They become famous! After all, just look at Moo Deng and Pesto the penguin. Only time will tell if Bakso becomes an internet celebrity, but some Disney World guests are already posting videos of him online.
Obviously, we don’t want to put any pressure on Bakso. It’s probably a lot of work to be as famous as Moo Deng! Besides, this tiger cub is already a star in our eyes.
