Waxman Staff Writer Apr 11, 2016 5:57 PM UTC A pair of tigers recently put on quite a show for zoo visitors. In a video uploaded to [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8f-dwURY20) on April 9 entitled “Dublin Zoo wake up call – tiger fight,” one tiger approaches another tiger that appears to be either napping or resting in some way, prompting the reclining one to roar loudly as a small child looks on from behind the glass. The footage also best illustrates how people who are trying to relax _really_ feel when their moment of zen is interrupted by another person or a loud noise. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4288995/tiger-dublin-zoo-tigers-fight/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4288995/tiger-dublin-zoo-tigers-fight/"},"headline":"This Tiger Is Everyone Who Has Ever Been Woken Up from a Nap","datePublished":"2016-04-11T17:57:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:31:31.338Z","description":"The claws come out in this tiger fight","url":"https://time.com/4288995/tiger-dublin-zoo-tigers-fight/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
