If that has happened, I'm sorry but I have no control over it.  Bengal tiger siblings playing. I hope that you enjoy the video. It is on a loop and therefore a keeps playing over and over again.

News regarding the conservation of the tiger is normally negative I have to add.

I believe that you can answer the question in the title quite scientifically. I'll try. We know how domestic cats play. The domestic cat is a domesticated North African wildcat. The wildcat is just another species of wild cat as is the tiger. So inherent in all wild cat species is the ability to enjoy playing.

However, you will see tiger cubs playing just like domestic kittens because they are practicing hunting skills and learning through play. Domestic adult cats only play for fun as a substitute for being unable to hunt. So, in conclusion, I'd say that the adult tiger does not look for "fun". They are focused on survival in a very difficult world to survive in.
