Watch a tiger casually rip a car bumper clean off

Tiger's gotta make a buck.

Hey, living in the jungle is rough. Sometimes you have to resort to drastic measures to get by, like swallowing your pride and morality and stealing car parts to sell when a car randomly drives through.

A tiger in Beijing, China, was clearly feeling this pressure, so he approached a car (whose occupants for some reason didn't drive away from the literal tiger that was coming at them) and straight up gnawed the front bumper off.

The people filming from the car (again, why didn't they just drive away?) sound absolutely shocked when the tiger yanked their bumper off and dragged it to the edge of the woods, sort of unsure what to do with his new toy.

It's a relief when the video cuts to close up shots of the bumper back in its rightful possession, even though it's covered in tiger-sized bite marks.

At least the critter didn't get their hubcaps, too.

Bonus: Here are some #corgi butts in slow motion.
