  • They high-five each other and the tiger mimics the girl’s movements as she jumps up and down
  • The little girl names her new friend Mike 

An adorable video shows an unlikely friendship forming between a little girl and a tiger twice her size.

A glass barrier doesn’t keep the playful duo from having loads of fun. In the video, the tiger jumps when she jumps and even high-fives her.

One woman says, ‘He’s trying to kiss you!’. Though, it’s probable the tiger’s intentions may be more grim.

It appears the little girl decides to name the tiger Mike. She’s heard saying ‘Hey Mike!’ in the video.   

The tiger gives the little girl a high-five and she comes back with a double high-five

The girl sparks interest in the oversize cat. Bystanders in the video suggest it's her bright yellow T-shirt that attracts the animal

It’s unclear where the footage was taken.

She can be heard giggling as her family cheers her on. One bystander suggests it’s the little girl’s bright yellow T-shirt that’s attracting the cat. ‘He thinks you’re a Golden Girl’, he says.

The same man then tries to break up the fun by reminding her she has to go to gymnastics class.

But it seems the little girl got enough exercise playing with her new friend.
