Before we watched Tiger King, we had no idea how many people actually had tigers as pets. It's a lot more than you would think, and we understand why you would want a tiger as a pet, heck, we want one too! But, we're also logical people, and we understand that they are giant, predatory wild animals that are not meant to be kept as pets. Apparently, not everyone thinks the same way we do.

This tiger was rescued from a private owner in Italy (don't have too many details about this), but when he was rescued he had a cracked tooth, which must have made it painful for him to eat properly. After rescuing him, he was taken to a tiger sanctuary in Germany, where he met with a dentist that said, "You know what, let's give you a gold tooth". They replaced the cracked tooth with this crazy-looking golden canine tooth, and the internet is having their fun with it. He looks like the internet's new final boss, like Tony the Tiger's cartel days. Scroll down to read the comments from this hilarious and interesting Reddit thread!

Can you imagine that if you were attacked by this tiger, your last thought would be "Is that gold?" What a funny thought. If I'm going to get attacked by a tiger, it might as well be a fashionable/really cool one.

Yeah, SuperJohnBravo, you're right. It is terrifying. But tigers' teeth are in general, quite terrifying. About 600 lbs of muscle and alpha predator instinct. Sounds pretty scary to us! It's all fun and games when they're your pet until they get angry at you…
