Fear me! Rare black tiger cub does its best to terrify… but it's just too cute for its own good

It's black due to condition called pseudo-melanism which causes all dark fur

With its arms outstretched, claws bared and mouth gaping open, this black tiger cub believes it is a fearsome sight - but the act isn't fooling anyone.

The adorable 25-day-old feline was photographed playfully rolling around on a red carpet in the city of Hangzhou, in Zhejiang province of east China.

During the photo-shoot, the cub was also pictured prancing around the room - with photos of cartoon animals, including a lion, adorning the walls.

I still want a Tiger or Lion. Imagine if you were a burgler and you found a giant cat looking at you while laying on a couch.

I just remember that The Beast Master had a black tiger. They dyed a regular tiger black.

Yeah, and the tiger spent the next two years with severe health issues before finally dying, because the dye they used was toxic.

Mmm looks very tender

Well, if hyper-melanism or whatever they call it is so common among leopards as to produce the animals we call "black panthers" (which aren't panthers at all,) then I imagine one or two cases among other great cats shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Black jaguars aren't unknown either.

Almost had a black with orange stripes.

For a fucking movie... That's horrible.
