The two tigers were heard growling at a white and grey kitten, that was sitting frozen in a small drain surrounding the enclosure.
Despite its close proximity to the much larger animals, the kitten puts up a brave front and faces off with the tigers.
At one point, they close in to investigate the smaller animal.

Off camera, a quick-thinking zoo employee then begins to spray water at the tigers.
The sudden spray scares the bigger felines away to the cheers of the crowd.
