"What was meant to be an adorable stunt putting an apex predator together with a fluffy household pet nearly turned into a disaster, with disturbing videos online showing a tiger cub attacking a rabbit during a Chinese zoo's New Year handover.

A video posted on Chinese social media network Weibo shows the tiger cub biting a rabbit as zookeepers at Linfen Zoo in the Shanxi province celebrate the symbolic passing of the zodiac baton for Chinese New Year, 2023. While 2022 was the year of the tiger, 2023 is the year of the rabbit, so the holding of the two animals symbolized "a Tiger-Rabbit Handover Ceremony" to mark the passing of the torch this Chinese New Year, which fell on Sunday, January 22.

The footage shows two zookeepers holding the animals in their arms, but held close together. Although both animals were docile on their own, when the tiger was in close proximity of the rabbit, it quickly sniffed it before stretching its paws and opening it mouth to grab hold of the bunny."
