Video footage shows Siberian tigers in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province meandering about until they catch sight of a drone with a camera buzzing around.
They played cat and mouse with the drone until a 2 or 3-year-old tiger swiped at the camera, a large paw filling its screen before losing signal.
The group proceeded to tear the drone apart, with one literally chewing on the gadget as if it was a bird of prey.
Unlike a bird, the drone started to give off smoke, which scared off the surrounding tigers.
