猛虎變萌虎：粉衣小蘿莉與虎共舞
These breathtaking photographs capture the remarkable moments when a tiger bowed its head and placed a paw up to the hand of a small girl.
照片中，一隻老虎俯首擡爪與站在面前的小女孩手碰手。這張照片記錄下了這個激動人心的美好瞬間。
Photographer Daniels noticed the 370lb Golden Bengal Tiger had taken an interest in the child, who was leaning against his glass enclosure.
攝影師丹尼爾斯注意到這隻重達370磅（約167.8公斤）的金色孟加拉虎很喜歡小朋友，並且俯身靠近自己的玻璃籠子。
As the tiger, called Taj, headed over to her, Mr Daniels got his camera ready, expecting him to snarl and bang against the glass.
當丹尼爾斯看到這隻名叫Taj的老虎靠近小姑娘時，就準備好了要拍攝老虎對着玻璃張牙舞爪、又吼又打的模樣了。
But amazingly the tiger hung his head, stretched a paw out to her hand and rubbed his cheek against where the girl's face was.
讓人大跌眼鏡的是，老虎垂下頭來，張開爪子，與玻璃對面的小女孩互搓着臉頰。
“I noticed this little girl was leaning against the glass with both hands out stretched staring at the ‘big kitties’,” he said.
丹尼爾斯說，我注意到小姑娘靠近玻璃，張開雙手，盯着這隻“大貓貓”。
Far from being scared, the little girl was so excited that she started clapping as she walked back afterwards towards her mother.
小女孩不僅沒有被嚇到，反而興奮地直拍手，還不停地在媽媽身邊來回走動。
"I have never seen such tenderness from such a large predator," Mr Daniels said.
丹尼爾斯說，“老虎這種龐然大物表現出這樣的溫柔，我還從沒見過。”
