Whenever the stress of living in a bustling city gets too hard to handle, many may resort to booking a vacation to unwind.
However, for a tiger in a wildlife centre in Thailand, relaxing is as simple as snuggling up against its favourite red ball while floating along a body of water.
So adorable was the sight that the Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) shared a video of the tiger floating with its red ball on TikTok on Monday (8 Jan).
As the video made its rounds, it seemingly inspired viewers to embrace their inner tigers and find relaxation in their surroundings.
In the captions, WFFT shared that the tiger, Maruay, was spending an uninterrupted minute with his beloved ball.
The wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre remarked that his expression during this time was priceless.
“Just 18 or so months ago, rescued tiger Maruay only knew a concrete floor and a small cage,” WFFT wrote.
Thankfully, he is now able to spend his time relaxing in the sun while taking a dip.
The video simply shows the tiger hugging a red ball with his eyes shut, slowly bobbing in the water.

Although he had to adjust himself at several points, Maruay mostly let the calm water carry him and his toy along with its lulling motions.
Many TikTok users who saw the clip seemed taken by Maruay’s cuteness.
For example, one commenter remarked that if tigers are dangerous predators, how is it possible that they are so loveable?

Maruay’s serenity also appeared to have caught the attention of other viewers, such as this person who remarked that the tiger has found “inner peace”.

Another commenter joked that this is the big cat’s way of doing yoga in the morning.

There were also some, such as this TikTok user, who envied Maruay’s simple life as a tiger happily floating with a red ball.

As we go about our busy lives, it’s perhaps a good idea to take a page out of Maruay’s book and find peace in our surroundings.
