how can something be this cute and yet deadly at the same time

That proves it! Reincarnation is real. TJ used to be a tiger shark!

Awe, he's just like a cub -- a gigantic, humongous, enormous cub.

he really loves that water!! i heard he passed away :( but now he's in heaven with his own forever and ever personal pool and a jungle 😍👌

TJ loves the water so much. I don’t wish a cage on him but he would be so busy in the wild just feeding himself, I don’t think he would be able to have as much fun as he is having in his enclosures.

I just love TJ, he's adorable The last shot was lovely. It's great that you pointed out noticed he can break cement pools. They're really beautiful and some private owners have tigers they can pet and play with....however it's easy to forget the sheer power these beauties possess. Too often something happens that shakes up the owner or they become frightened. Then the cat is banished to an unsuitable cage , abandoned, sold to unscrupulous people or killed. It's far better for most big cats and people to keep a safe distance from each other.

It is absolutely unbelievable how much joy this video brings me. Keep up your wonderful work! Wish I could help out somehow.

Send that last picture to the National Geographic photography contest! It's amazing!!

TJ is in absolute cat heaven! I know tigers love water, but he takes it to a whole other level! Really great to see him so happy. Thank you. BCR, for the wonderful work you do,

TJ is very much allowed to enjoy the water after his years in a cage. Thank you for giving him such a fantastic home!

Delightful video. A water tiger. He's so happy.

I think "love" is too mild a word for TJ's enjoyment of water. Seeing him rolling around in the puddles in Vacation Rotation reminded me of how, when I was growing up, Scooter, one of the family cats, would roll around in the sun by the garage when someone walked him (on a leash) to the south side of the house in the afternoon. He **loved** being over on that side of the house, and after he'd had his roll, he'd flop out and watch the world go by. When cats are happy, they put on a display to let the whole world know.

No doubt .... TJ enjoys his life .... :)

TJ Tiger is Adorable. 💟

TJ has been my favorite of the tigers since I discovered ya'll about two years ago. This is absolutely adorable. Is he trying to scent mark the water by rubbing his face on it!?

The new colors for this season, muddy golden.😄

This clearly shows that animals have emotions like humans. (We are animals anyway.) I bet he had a ton of fun and was very happy! :3

I liked how he "marked" his puddle! Silly kitty!

Sooooooooooooooo cute

I never get tired of watching TJ enjoying the water 😀

Tigers are awesome. Such great animals. Highly intelligent and cunning. TJ is adorable playing in the water.

TJ is a water baby!!!

He looks so happy!

That is one happy tiger! I'd spend all my time in the water too if I was in Florida!

Thank you very much

Such a happy little kitty ^.^

Filming is so much better, love ur cats!!! 😊

Wow so cool

Awww miss you big buddy! Run wild TJ. You are free of pain and there are plenty of pools and lakes for you to splash and swim in. Love you big boy!

So cute!

What a supermodel with the fur flicks!....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Majestic!!!

He's so cute

It sure warms the heart to watch TJ enjoying the water.

aww so cut

I was wondering what TJ was doing in Shere Khan and China Doll's old enclosure. Now I know!

TJ is precious... and so happy and content here... and All the amazing people at Big Cat rescue and the beautiful hearts of the donors are to thank and the reason these awesome creatures.... can rest and flourish so beautifully......

This is so nice to see them enjoying like that. Thank you for your work and for giving them a chance and a better life!

Awwww happy boy - Water loving tiger gets lake access after breaking pools. Only seen at BCR!

Super!

The cats may not bother with them, but I still think those are some brave ducks!

Tigers need this kind of stuff.

Any BCR video starring TJ makes me smile really big. :D

He looks very happy :-)

... And while he is distracted I quickly run up and kiss him on the nose

Awwwww, so funny! He looks so happy. Thank you for what you do for the Big Cats.

Look at that free cat livin life, hope one day i get the same freedom!

I agree. how can this animal be deadly and absolutely beautiful at the same time

I love that he splashes out of sheer fun. I've noticed he also likes to get muddy.

He's soo adorable. I just want to hug him!

So great! I love this video!!

it makes me happy to see such a happy tiger!

What a happy, muddy boy! Thanks for posting!

Great video!

This is adorable but I'm mostly impressed by how utterly fearless the ducks in that lake are.

Hahaha he's so happy

Too cool! I love the photo at the end too.

the music sounds like "rain street"

how could a creature be so dangerous yet so adorable 😭❤

Good idea bro thanks

Very Nice Video you have here keep up the good work.

I'd like to know what could that 1 person dislike in this lovely video!!! Did he want him to hunt the ducks?

tiger🐯🐯🐯😍😍😍😍😘😚😙

I nearly had a heart attack seen those ducks near TJ lol xD but it's good he doesn't hurt them !

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Heh, can I come swim with TJ? :3

I just love all you do for these big cats. I am happy to see they are in such good and capable hands. Keep up the great work!

Awesome tiger, love u TJ 😍💞

I wish I enjoyed things half as much as TJ enjoys his puddles

0:20-0:35 I imagine TJ had something to do with the disappearance of the ducks between shots here

Those ducks were pretty happy to get real close to the tiger. He really wouldn't survive in the wild if he had to start hunting is own food, would he?

happiest tiger in the world!

I see there are ducks in the big lake too, has he ever hunted one of them?

T.J. does an awesome back stroke!

LMAO!!! TJ is fantastic! What a silly butt! He's adorable - that made my day/evening! hahaha, he broke all those cement pool and now has lake-front property. LOL Gosh, he looks so damn happy compared to the first time I saw him in that cement cage!! He's 17 yrs old and still acting like a kid! lol Thank you for sharing! I only wish we lived close enough to visit and volunteer. Each sanctuary I've found, so far, in Washington State is not what they claim to be and/or secretive. If you know of an accredited one in Washington, close to Vancouver, WA or Portland, Oregon, or even further (I can drive) I would love a name. I would like to help in my area, but am falling short trying to find a good one. :) I'm going to go watch it again! lol

you sure he's not part duck or part fish?

so cute omg! :v

It's so funny to see TJ playing with water, it makes him cute! So sad i can"t come to see him real life.

Do the big cats get stressed when you move them to a different enclosure?

tj is so cute! when I am old enough I want to work or volunteer at big cat recuse :)

Does TJ ever go after the ducks?

did you guys ever solve that issue with the birds landing in the vacation spot? or did they just leave on their own?

XD

Just an idea, why dont you put up a livestream of some of the big cats? Or the rehab bobcats?

Is it safe to have ducks in the water, right next to a tiger?

Do you ever have worries of snakes gettimg onto the BCR ground?

Why does the tigers like to swim

god bless America because other nations don't treat em like this

aww he looks so happy! did he have a rescue story? or was he just born from the tigers that u already have?

meow

There my water kitty he looks like he is in heaven ism so happy for him

Are there ever any water-fowl foolish enough to visit these water-features?

he looks young

piddles in his puddle lol

i noticed ducks in the background?! the cats don't try and eat them???

How can i help these beautiful animals

Am I the only one notice that there's a ducks in the pond near tj? Why don't he ate it?
