Love knows no bounds -- even across species, apparently.

 In this incredible viral video, watch as an orangutan is seen playing and tussling with a group of tiger cubs. There’s also footage of the great ape embracing the tigers, and even bottle-feeding one of them.

The video of the “babysitting” orangutan is said to have been shot at Myrtle Beach Safari in South Carolina. The clip was filmed by the Discovery Family channel for the show "My Dog's Crazy Animal Friends."

According to Discovery Family, the male orangutan took on the role of caretaker after observing the humans at the safari caring for the big cats.


The “orangutan finds great pleasure in the little tigers and can be found playing with them almost every day,” per the video.
