A heartwarming video of a singer serenading a tiger has taken the internet by storm. Loris Assadian, known online as Plumes, performed Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" on acoustic guitar for a tiger at the Caresse de Tigre sanctuary in Normandy, France. The tiger approached Assadian with curiosity, eventually sitting down to listen to the performance, a reaction that surprised even the singer.
The viral moment, shared on TikTok, elicited awe from viewers who commented on the tiger's unusual calm and affectionate behavior. Experts noted that a tiger's "chuffing" sound, a soft puff of air, signifies happiness and non-threatening intent, suggesting the tiger felt comfortable and content.
This captivating encounter is not Plumes' first foray into animal serenades. Previously, he gained fame for singing to a lioness who invited her companions to listen and has also performed for cows and rhinos. Assadian began his unique musical outreach in 2022 in the French countryside, inspired by the idea that cows find music soothing. His experiences with various animals have consistently yielded magical and receptive responses.
