When you think of tigers or other large cats, cute high-pitched sounds are certainly not what you would expect to hear — right?

Meet eight-month-old tiger Sherhan, who was filmed at a Russian zoo called Forest Fairytale. The sweet sound Sherhan makes while communicating with his mother has captured the hearts of visitors - definitely a far cry from the intimidating roar usually heard from these big cats.

Sherhan is one of four tigers born at the zoo in June 2020.
