A video of a curious toddler's playful fight with a tiger is melting the internet. In a video reportedly from a zoo in eastern China, a majestic tiger can be seen playfully responding to the toddler's "paw-punching" through its enclosure, with just a thin sheet of glass separating them.

The video filmed last year in Huzhou, Zhejiang shows a toddler slapping on the glass, not realising that he was standing before a fierce beast. Well, the tiger responded the same way.
